Trilogy Corojo Robusto

I haven't reviewed this cigar in over ayear and I've certainly smoked by share of this three- sided beauty. One thing, i've found out the hard way is that these babies need to be aged and I don't mean six months. I'd recommend at least a year, but you might get away with 10 months. The burn and taste definately improve and I'm not talking about a small improvement like many cigars. I smoked this one with about 14 months in the humidor. It was delicious as I camped among the coyotes and bear in the high plateau of the Alleghany Front.

If you like drinking milkshakes through a cocktail straw, this one's for you. The taste was okay -- medium, kind of nutty -- but every puff was a struggle. Won't be buying one of these again.

It's been over three years since I last rated my old buddy, the Trilogy Corojo Robusto. Even though I haven't rated it in three years I've been smoking one monthly. I have to say, whether I'm huffing it on my front porch or around a campfire in the mountains, its a awesome smoke! The construction is excellente and this gar will last much longer than most robusto's. You can really taste the Corojo wrapper, mmmmmm. All of this at a terrific price!

Last week I had my first. Last night has me wondering witch is the true Trilogy. Compared to stick #1 this was not good. Construction issues galore(unravelling, extremely loose draw, very uneven burn), bitter taste so bad I couldn't make it into the second half of the smoke. Guess I need to do a best 2 out of 3 test.

Odd appearance, yes, but it really does fit the hand. Well constructed stick, but the draw was a bit tight. Milder smoke than expected, flavor was okay. Got these at $1.40 a stick and at that price they are a good value, but wouldn't pay much more.

the second i lit it, it had trouble burning and the draw was real labored. i'd puff 3 times before i got a good mouth full of smoke. the flavor was odd: minty, grassy, and oatey. it burned real unevenly after the 1st inch and was funky like. my least fav of the trilogy series for sure...

Since I reviewed this one right off the truck last time, I thought I'd update it after three months of box time. Short finish. And the burn was problematic. Required touchups and didn't want to stay lit. Store them at 65%. I thought these would get better, and they still might, but for now they're around average except for their price.

Even, dark wrapper with some tooth. Medium bodied with distinct black pepper hints in the second half. Smoked this one right off the truck, so I may be back in a couple of weeks with an update.

When I first lit this up I thought I was in for a strong smoke, but as it burned it mellowed to a mild possibly medium smoke. I liked the tri-press feel in my hand an the burn remained even throughout. Are there better Corojos out there? Yes, but not for under 2 bucks a stick. Good smoke.

Got a whole box of these cheap, I've smoked about 5 of them and given a few away. After some humi time they started to take on a rich, woodsy flavor. Unfortunately I can never seem to get them to burn consistently all the way through, they always seem to stop burning on one of the sides of the triangle forcing me to relight sometimes multiple times, but that the price I paid for their excellent flavor, I'm not complaining.

This is my least favorite of the trilogy series, ok woodsy flavor, as with all the trilogies, they burn a little uneven, draw was decent. I will stick to the maduro.

First time I'd tried this smoke. I've tried other Trilogy smokes. This one was decent. I liked the triangluar press. Flavor was good, smoke was dense and creamy. Only problem was the draw. At first I thought my face was going to implode. Very difficult draw at first, but loosened up after the first inch. Overall good cigar for the money

One of the few that im willing to relight, it still taste good. These are always in my humidor. Flavor is grand, easy draw, nice ash. Just a great smoke

Decent smoke. I found that the draw was rough and the burn was a little uneven. At times I wondered if I would need to relight it. The flavor was mild but good. It would go well with a sweet drink to sip on.

Beautiful construction with a lightly veined wrapper that was even in color. Aroma prior to light up was intriguing with a slightly woody hint and promising deep flavor. I opted for a punch for this cigar which may explain the following: poor draw and off flavor, smoke that was too cool and thin to provide the deep flavor promised by pre-light appearances, and excessive effort to enjoy the smoke. The cigar has potential and the other five I own have a more compliant feel when squeezed slightly, this may have been an anomaly. I will continue to age the ones I have still (if I can wait) and report more later. This one was had by a roaring fire holding a fine brew, the fire and brew were great!

Nice peppery/spicy start the woody and smooth cocoa taste to it. The construction was great with a very food burn and ash. A great smoke with coffee.

Starts off spicy then smoothes out. Volumes of smoke a little uneven burn but a beautiful flavor a keeper in my humi.

Nice chocolate wrapper with mild veining. Soft construction down the entire length. Started with pepper and eased into a nutty, cedar flavor with a hint of cocoa aftertaste. Gray ash and tons of billowey white smoke. Burn fast and a little hot, though it was not dry and was kept around 70/70 for 3-4 months prior to smoking - likely related to the soft construction. All in all, a decent smoke when you have 30-45 minutes. Would pair well with black coffee, though I enjoyed mine with straight bourbon. Would buy again for the price, though not a box.

what a terrific smoke for the value.

This could be one of my go to cigars. I enjoyed the smooth cocoa taste, even burn and plenty of smoke. I'm still trying many different cigars but this could be one I start keeping lots of, and I like the shape.

A unique shape and an interesting taste. A cool, crisp smoke with a little spice. Draw and burn were good and the price is great. I enjoyed it.

I thought this cigar was awesome. I like the fit in the hand with the triangle press. Upon first lighting it I got a huge dose of pepper in the nostrils which lasted for a couple of drags, then it turned kind of sweet and spicy. I thoroughly enjoyed it and its a great value

My first taste of the Trilogy line. I found it quite attractive and refined. Also, I found it much more tasty than the average. For once I could taste the hints of cocoa or chocolate. It may not make my first team, but I reccomend that you at least try this smooth, brunette with almost as good a personality as looks.

about time they put up the Trilogy's to review. this is my favorite NC. sometimes have a funny burn, but have never had a serious problem. flavor has been consistant from stick to stick. fits perfectly in my mouth. i've had the camachos and all that, this is a better stick, the others are too earthy.

Very creamy smoke, with nutty taste. Bunred very even and had wonder billows of smoke.

Unicque shape, medium draw, excellent burn, very pleasant taste, mild-medium strength
