Trinidad Reyes

[Vortigan]

The first one of a bunch of five (May '11) purchased from Andy,fellow UKCF member.My first Reyes and indeed my first Trinidad.Well now I know why these get such rave reviews,what a great smoke! Fantastically constructed with a very attractive,oily wrapper.It's almost unbelievable how much is packed in to such a small cigar.Wonderful caramel flavours through the first 1/3 which gave way to sweet woods,just a touch of spice and a terrific grassy flavour.Finishing off with a caramel/chocolatey wafer taste through to the end.

Without doubt the finest minuto that I've personally had.It was stronger than I expected also and it seems to me that it almost demands to be smoked at a later point in the day rather than be "dismissed" as the cigar you have with your morning coffee,as I just did (I hope that comes across as I mean it to ) This cigar just burnt my lips and my fingers and without even a hint of harshness,I expect I'm not alone in wishing that it was a lot bigger.Expensive,certainly,but in the smoking you see why.I had no intention,going in,of writing down any kind of review but it was one of those that I enjoyed so much I wanted to get my thoughts down somewhere,and there's nowhere better than here.I think I'll have to get a box of these in now after that

Told ya.
I smoked one on the half hour walk back from a pub lunch yesterday. Consistently great little cigar any time of day. Always delivers. Going through a box of 25 at an alarming rate at the moment. have to get another one in shortly.

25? Did the box come with a glass lid?

I apologise, I just couldn't resist it. That was a cheap shot but the temptation was like a big fat Behike begging to be smoked and I gave into weakness.

On the Reyes I agree with the review, it's a fabulous cigar.

No sweat!

I've had a few 25-count boxes with no glass. Is that wrong?

I've only had them in 12's and 24's, only had them in 25's in the cardboard packs!!

Ah ah, another one bites the dust! Welcome to the "I need more but they're damn pricey" club!

Love the Reyes. Don't like the little extra you have to pay for such delights. But yet it doesn't stop me buying more and smoking them too fast.

Perhaps they wouldn't be if we didn't promote them so much around these parts!

I'm just sayin'!
