A 2010 Regional Edition Cigar in a special release size: Triunfos or Double Robusto, 50 x 160 - 6.3"
A beautiful looking light brown wrapper with a nice sheen, this cigar had a lovely cold aroma of hay & milk chocolate with a perfect draw and good smoke output right from the start. Smoke aroma was pepper spicy with flavour notes of milk & dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee and the most prominent shortbread biscuit flavour I've ever noticed on the retrohale of a cigar which was particularly smooth.
Initial underlying leather notes which were nicely in the background in the first third, faded in the second third of the cigar creating an even smoother smoking experience with the shortbread biscuit continuing on the retrohale complimented by some added white pepper. There were also surprise fleeting notes of fruit (almost apricot) and tea with floral aspects coming in to play.
The final third had only slight bitterness towards the very end by which time the biscuit element had disappeared and was replaced with more coffee & cedar wood flavours.
This was the first of these sticks I had tried and I found it surprisingly complex and very enjoyable with the only negative aspect being that the overall burn quality could have been slightly better, but definitely a cigar I can recommend and in my opinion will improve with age.
Total smoke time:- 2 bottles of Doom Bar (which complimented it very nicely!) or 1 hour 45 minutes[emoji2]
