Trinidad BP Belicosos ? Maduro
Size: 6 1/8 x 52 ? Belicoso
Wrapper: Maduro Connecticut Broardleaf
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Smoke time: 1hour 35mins
This cigar is from a 6 x set gifted by Shucks. There are two types Maduro and Natural and the set came with a Cigar Savor Torch Lighter which although I now use it all the time, I?m terified of because it?s so powerful that in daylight I can hardly see the flame.
Appearance and Construction: Manley. Rough, oily, un-even, slightly bumpy almost branch like dark mottled maduro.
Flavour: Ignition met with a strong, very moreish blast of sour citrus mixed with chocolate. I wont dwell on the flavours of the first two third too much other than to say the most prominant was like tasting a soft, muted, smokey version of Schwepps Bitter Lemon and absolutly delicious. The final third was even more rewarding becoming richer and more leathery with hints of sweet chutney, dessicated coconut, honey and a bonus pepperyness just towards the end. I would consider this a mild cigar for most of the smoke with the strength picking-up to medium during the last third.
Draw and Burn: A bit tight initially, but nothing a little molestation with a BBQ squewer didn?t sort out . A little un-even over the first two thirds, but seem to find it?s way well enough for the final run-in. The ash, although not as white as some NC?s stayed compact and well behaved throughout the smoke.
Overall: A very pleasant afternoon?s smoke. Getting to know this stogie is time well spent IMHO.
To keep Cat from nagging I've done a few during pics and yes I do cover my little ashtray with foil ? 'cos it makes cleaning away a lot easier.
