  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

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 can’t 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

La Sirena Prince was my first box purchase after being bombed one., I'm a big fan of this brand and look forward to trying more. Great review, thanks for sharing.

Good Grief Jesse, now it looks like I should avoid these at all costs? I sure don't want to buy one, then buy a box...

Tell you what, send me your address, if I buy a box and I'll send it to you for "safe keeping"

According to a conversation had we the company the blend is different, and the boxes will say "The New La Sirena" although that was not yet official. What was official is that the boxes will become more traditional.
