Bahia Trinidad

I recently smoked the Bahia Blue and gave it a poor review on this site, so I came to the Trinidad, made by the same company, with low expectations. I was, however, surprised, and it ended up being a decent smoke.

The Trinidad had a tapered torpedo end, a style that isn’t my favorite, but for some reason the way this one was pulled off was actually quite nice. I think it might be that the tapered end was more blunt than regular torpedœs. The wrapper was light and smooth. I found no ugly veins in the wrapper, it was not bitter to the taste like many cigars and it had a nice, solid construction.

The ash was ok. It was a darker gray color instead of white. Due to its solid construction, the ash hung around for over an inch before finally falling off. The cigar burned fairly evenly, though it was slightly wavy, until the very end of the cigar when the burn collapsed — one half of the cigar burned faster than the other half. When I got to the band and tried to take it off, despite my careful handling of it, the band ripped the outer leaf — a bad sign. Not surprisingly, it began to unravel and the last inch of the cigar was a poor experience.

The draw was medium-​easy, just what I like to see in a cigar. The taste was bland but nice, mild at the beginning, but it sadly turned spicy towards the middle, and became very harsh at the end.

A decent cigar for a fair price, but I have smoked better that cost the same.
