TTT Trinidad

This cigar came in a toro sampler pack that I bought at JR Cigars in DC, supposedly the World's largest cigar store. This was a 10 cigar Toro size sampler from the Dominican. The cigars were all 6 in with a 50 ring gauge.

I smoked this cigar at "Shelly's back room" in DC while hangin out with Paul Russell and the #tatuaje DC crew - @DaByrdman33 @thisisnotevan etc..

I straight cut it and paired with 10 yr old scotch on ice with a side of water. It started off seeming very mellow and it stayed pretty mellow which surprised me because this was a darker looking cigar. It never had any bite to it but the draw was very tight for the first two thirds. I had to fight for every draw, taking 3 pre puffs per draw. and it did not produce a lot of smoke.

I had to fix the burn on this cigar many, many times.

Last third the draw became a bit easier and it produced more smoke. I would put this cigar in the medium strength category.

I put it out with about an inch long nub.

Overall I enjoyed it but it was a lot of work to keep it going and to keep it burning right. The company was great so that added to the enjoyment of the cigar.

Binder: CTBL/ECSU

Expertly handcrafted in the Dominican Republic's southern city of La Romana, the TTT Trinidad is a full-bodied gem of a cigar. At its core is a robust recipe of aged Nicaraguan, Dominican, and Peruvian long-filler tobaccos secured by a stout broadleaf binder and finished with either a choice Ecuadorian Sumatran sun-grown or dark Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper. The result is a lush, dense smoke for the seasoned cigar connoisseur. The hearty, boisterous flavors and more than ample body of the Trinidad are certain to assure your smoking satisfaction.
