As far as the Trinidad No. 2’s flavor is concerned, I’d call it average at best. The cigar is far from complex, but it is smooth and enjoyable. It begins mildly with cedar and sweetness that dominate the first third. The second third continues to be mild, as a buttery flavor appears. This then transitions into some mild tobacco. The final third is characterized by spiciness. The cigar never goes beyond the medium-bodied range.

I wouldn’t call the Bahia Trinidad a memorable smoke by any means. I did enjoy it, however, and I could see it as being a good cigar to enjoy early in the day. By far, the Trinidad’s main selling point is its price. It comes in bundles of 20 for around $45. That’s quite cheap, and makes the cigar much more appealing. If you are looking for a Nicaraguan puro that’s smooth, I’d recommend picking up a bundle. You won’t break the bank, and you’ll have a nice quantity of stogies on hand to give to your friends when they come over.

The Bahia Trinidad No. 2 Belicoso earns a rating of 3.25 out of four stars.

Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente Maduro

Have you ever wanted to smoke a cigar, but were too short on time to do so? If so, you’re probably not alone. The good news is that there are short stogies out there that can be smoked rather quickly, and this review will focus on one of them. It’s called the Chateau Fuente Maduro, and it’s just one of many popular cigars from Arturo Fuente.

The Chateau Fuente Maduro measures 4 ½ x 50. The cigar’s filler and binder are both made up of tobaccos from the Dominican Republic. Topping things off is a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. This is a smooth cigar that falls into the medium-bodied category of strength.
