Cedro, Café y Crema. A Review of the Trinidad Cabildos 2024

Hello dear reader, today I got a special review for you, I’m going to talk about my experience with smoking the Trinidad Cabildos LE 2024 for the first time.

As I settled into the comforting embrace of the Trinidad Cabildos Edición Limitada 2024, I felt a wave of anticipation. I talked about this amazing feeling before, it’s marvellous. This limited edition cigar has been the talk of aficionados, promising a journey of rich and layered experiences. From the beginning I was greeted by an enticing nose of cinnamon and nutmeg, a warm, spicy bouquet that set the tone for what was to come.

What sets an Edición Limitada Habanos cigar apart is the exceptional quality and unique characteristics from the meticulous selection and aging of its tobacco leaves. Unlike regular production cigars, Edición Limitada releases feature tobacco that has undergone an extended aging process, with the leaves aged for a minimum of two years before rolling. This extra aging imparts a richer, more complex flavour profile, allowing the tobaccos to mellow and harmonize. The result is a refined, nuanced smoking experience that showcases the depth and richness of the aged tobaccos. Each Edición Limitada cigar is crafted with great care, using the finest leaves from the top regions of Cuba, ensuring that every puff delivers the signature full-bodied and aromatic qualities that aficionados cherish. This dedication to quality and aging is what makes an Edición Limitada Habanos cigar a true delight, offering an unparalleled journey through layers of sophisticated flavours and aromas.

The addition of the term "Premier" to the Limited Edition band of the Trinidad Cabildos Edición Limitada 2024 signifies a new level of exclusivity within the already prestigious Edición Limitada series. This designation is reserved for the initial release, the first cigars from the series which were produced and which will be available at the exclusive launch events. It underscores the cigar's status as a collector's item. The Limited Edition Premier boxes are true masterpieces and contain only 5 cigars.

Now let’s talk about the cigar itself. Upon the cold draw, notes of cedar and tobacco were immediately evident, a prelude to the depth of flavours the Cabildos promised. Lighting it up, the first moment was spectacular, dominated by a symphony of coffee and cedar. The smoke was abundant and sweet, coating the palate with a thick, almost creamy texture that enveloped the senses in a luxurious haze.

As the cigar transitioned into its second phase, a distinct shift occurred. The sweetness subsided, replaced by a peppery kick that brought a new dimension to the experience. The coffee notes deepened, transforming into a robust espresso that added a bitter complexity, balancing the earlier sweetness. The smoke continued to be thick and rich making this a truly decadent smoking experience.

The final moment was a revelation. As the cigar reached its crescendo, the cedar note began to sweeten again, providing a harmonious conclusion to the journey. There was no harshness to speak of, could this be a testament to the quality and careful aging of the tobacco. It left me with a sense of satisfaction, yet also a keen awareness that this cigar, while already excellent, definitely needs more time to reach its full potential.

In true Trinidad fashion, the Cabildos Edición Limitada 2024 delivers a complex, evolving experience. It’s a cigar that invites contemplation and rewards patience, and I look forward to revisiting it as it continues to age and develop. This is one for the humidor, to be savoured as it matures into something truly extraordinary.
