Growing too fast.
I’ve really not cared much for the Trinidad that I’ve smoked as they just haven't fit my palate very well. A little too floral I think. However, I’ve smoked quite a few of these Ingenios the past couple months and have to say they have been fantastic.
The wrapper is a medium to dark brown, coarse with prominent veins, and noticeable oiliness. It’s got a good bit of give when squeezed; however no soft spots anywhere. I punch the pigtail cap and find the draw to be quite tight, but with enough airflow to hopefully smoke well. The taste is of sweet, raw tobacco in the cold draw.
With the foot torched, I take several puffs to get the smoke flowing and then take a long draw from the slender stick. There’s a salty sweetness on the lips with the smoke cool and smooth going in. A very nice cinnamon spice is on the back of the tongue with excellent, rich flavor coming through in the medium bodied smoke. Very earthy with just a hint of the typical floral notes of a Trinidad tantalize the taste buds. I want to say the smoke seems somewhat leathery at times with an incredibly delicious finish that is lasting on the palate.
The burn is impeccable with a firm, compact dark gray ash forming. I see some noticeable tooth throughout the ash as well. I ash the cigar about every half inch and a black filler binder is revealed from underneath. The draw on this one unfortunately has far too much resistance to it, however I’m still able to get enough of the rich, medium bodied smoke out to enjoy it tremendously. Along with all the flavors previously described, I’m getting what seems to be a fresh baked ginger bread cookie taste. Very good cigar!
Flavors became even more incredibly rich and complex towards the last third. There was a perfect amount of spice in the medium bodied smoke with a delicious, lasting finish on the palate when exhaling slowly through the mouth and nose. This cigar performed almost flawlessly, with the draw being the only exception, however it opened up quite well towards the end. Fantastic burn and delicious, rich flavors that were quite complex, just an incredibly enjoyable smoke!

I guess I will just have to grab a couple random Trinidads from the B&M and just give them a try!
