Trinidad Short Robustos T; Box Date: June 2010

[David C. Serna]

These are a discontinued vitola that was rereleased as an Edicion Limitada (with the spandard extra 2 years aging of alll the tobaccos in the cigar) in 2010. (There should be some left around for sale; I sure want more!)

Anyway, I just fired on up as I was in the mood for a shorty and wanted to see how these were doing. Well, I have found mine to have intensified markedly. Much more non-pepper spice and honey and other in and out flavors I couldn't describe in words, but delicious!

Anyone else have a CC atain such marked improvement (and intensification) in such a short time period? Am interested in your experiences.

I also invite all my fellow BOTL's to join a BOTL Group I've recently started here called, "Lovers of Aged Cigars". Discussion is not limited to CC's, membership is open, and all are free to start discussions or contributed to open threads. Love to have you. David C. (Xango) Serna.

I've actually never tried these cigars as I'm not a huge Trini and EL fan, but your description sounds great. Regarding your question, the first thing that pops in my head is my box of 08 PSD4's. I tried a cigar every 6 months or so after I got it and I didn't like them much at all. The 3 year mark hit and I figured I give it one more try and then sell/trade them if I didn't like it. I smoked it and it was like a light flipped on as the flavors melded together so nicely where the richness/spice of the Partagas flavors mellowed a bit and all came together making it a delicious and complex cigar. That cigar made me a Partagas fan...
