Trilogy Exotic Maduro
Robusto (50 x 5.0)
It's been a while since I've had the time to kick back and enjoy something, and I wanted to try something new so I pulled this stick out. I sat outside on the deck with some light coffee and lit up.
The wrapper is very nice. It's smooth, velvety, has a light oily shine, and is lightly veined. I toasted the tip and got a pleasant sweet scent from it. Snip the end and start to really light it. The draw is very nice; it's easy and offers little resistance but isn't loose. The initial flavor I got was a medium bodied woodsy and nutty flavor, the two flavors that would show through the entire cigar.
Now while the flavor profile was the same through the entire cigar that's not a bad thing. It wasn't overpowering, and was very smooth without any harshness at all. It also complimented my coffee well, making it seem a little sweeter.
The burn on it was very consistent and even. It started to get a little uneven once and corrected itself well before my next puff. There was never a need for any touch ups or relights, even after I had to set it down for a couple minutes to chase one of the cats back inside.
I smoked the cigar down to an inch and a half or two inches before letting it go. It didn't get hot or harsh at all, even down to the end of it. It was a consistent flavor profile with lots of smooth cool smoke. The draw was good, the burn was even, and overall it was a good cigar. The only downside for some is that the flavor didn't change, but others may find that to be a good thing. I liked the way it tasted, and it let me sit back and enjoy without having to dig down and analyze what I was tasting. I'd give it an 8/10 and would buy more if I found a good deal on them.
