La Sirena Trident Review
Review # 101
La Sirena Trident 7 x 50 Country of Origin: Nicaragua Factory: My Father Cigars S.A. Wrapper: Habano Binder: Nicaraguan Criollo 98 & Corojo 96 Filler: Nicaragua Smoked before review, 5 Resting time: 2 months The boxes are made to look sort of like treasure boxes to go along with the Mermaid theme, with a slightly domed top and my wife loves the major band surrounding the trident There are six different vitolas in the La Sirena lineup so far: La Sirena Prince 5 x 50 La Sirena Divine 5 1/2 x 52 La Sirena Trident 7 x 50 La Sirena Sea Sprite 5 1/2 x 42 La Sirena King Poseidon 6 x 60 La Sirena A 9 1/4 x 48 Prelight: deep cocoa and chocolate, leather and cedar Construction is impeccable, the first box I got of the King Poseidon 6 x 60 has a disappointing 30% cracked wrappers that I got from Atlantic cigars, could be that there storage practice was bad to find so many bad ones, but of corse they where still tasty. 1st 1/3 Blast of pepper that settles down fast to a deep cocoa and chocolate, much like the prelight aroma Wood and a sour fruit note emerge with eagerness and complement the cocoa and chocolate flavors There is a nice sweetness underneath that is gaining strength as the first third progresses The draw and smoke output are perfect 2nd 1/3 Dominate notes are still the dark chocolate, leather, cedar. I still cant identify the fruit I am tasting, but it is still sweet and sour at different points. Construction is still great as the strength increase to full by the end of the second third. La Sirena is famous for being a full strength cigar but you are reward with a very flavorful stick Final 1/3 Tangy flavors of spice and a tame pepper are present and complement the wonderful cocoa and sweet notes of the elusive fruit notes of sore and sweet. The back story of the company in very interesting with a women owner Arielle Ditkowich and the cigars being on the full side in a pleasant surprise Smoking time: 1 25 min 9.5 out of 10 Smokes similar too Kristoff Ligero Maduro L'Atelier Maduro Intemperance BA XXI CroMagnon Aquitaine Ramon Bueso Genesis Ashton VSG Undercrown
