Brief Introduction: The Trinidad Reyes is a current production released in 2004. Trinidad is a post-revolution brand established in 1969, and commercially launched in 1997.
Flavours: Very nice wrapper with an evenness to it all the way to the ring. This vitola is all cocoa and wood. Very pleasant with only a very mild sting, just enough to get your attention. The second third came about and I think I detected a faint hint of cedar, just a tinge. The final third seemed to be the ultimate mix of the other flavours.
Synopsis: Trinidad Reyes just needs a couple of weeks in the Humidor, and it will be an excellent and incredibly meaty smoke.
Smoking Duration: 30 - 35 minutes.
