Pretty much perfect little 40 minutes of enjoyment. Nice strength, no bitterness, enough complexity to make it a grown ups cigar. This is definitely going on my favourites list from now on in. Would thoroughly recommend.

I enjoyed the first third but had to fight with some harsh bitterness from there on in. Struggled a bit with uneven burn in the middle. As a result I've got to give this cigar a 3 star rating. However you do have to factor in the price in order to be fair. I would suggest you try one of these just in case you like them as they are by no means a poor example. Let's face it , if you try and like them then you have found a fantastic value for money item. It's up to you, got to be worth a stab at one or two to see.

Just finished one of these this evening. For the price I will say it was good, however others in this range are much more pleasing. The ash dropped about half way through, but the draw was not as easy as I'd expected. For the first half I felt like I was nursing this cigar rather than enjoying it. Not much smoke coming from the cigar and not much to taste. Once the ash dropped it became slightly easier to smoke, but I feel the first half set the tone for the experience. The cap ripped slightly while I clipped it, which also hindered the experience.

I am sad that the last reviewer had a bad one, I have smoked 3 of these and I will be getting more, as the one thing that DO have is bags of flavour .also a good burn, lots of smoke that tastes so good I don't want to blow it away.
I you love a full flavoured Cuban , as I do, its nice to mix up the humidor a bit with some good new world sticks as well, so I say go on treat yourself.....

Trinidad Coloniales Cigar - Cabinet of 24
by Gergely
I had bought a box of these for my colleagues to introduce them to the taste of proper tobacco. While I certainly do not count as a connosieur, or even an informed cigar afficionado, I can definitely say that this is a great smoke to introduce your fellows to cigar smoking. The taste is lighter than Cohibas, and the smoke lasts a convenient, medium time, 30-45 minutes - just enough for a good conversation starter. If you prefer lighter, mellower tasting cigars I wholeheartedly recommend the Coloniales. (For context, dear fellow addict, my other preferred ones are the Behike 56, the Montechristo No.2, the now gone Trinidad Robusto, and lately the Romeo & Julieta Piramides Anehados.)

H. Upmann Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
Got a couple of these recently for a holiday next month - since they arrived I have been eager to try one after all the positive reviews, and as the wife wasn't feeling too well and decided to go bed early, I did the loving husband thing and took the opportunity to slip away to my man-cave and try one out (or, the official line, to let her get a few hours uninterrupted sleep before I came to bed...)
Wow! What a superb little cigar. The flavour was right there from the start (thankfully, on such a small stick) and I found it evolved constantly throughout the half hour or so it lasted me (I wasn't paying particularly close attention to the clock...)
Burn was perfect, with no touch-ups needed. Draw was a little tight, but that wasn't a terrible thing on a little one like this.
The cigar itself was absolutely delicious. Grass, caramel, dark chocolate, honey and coffee appeared at various points (there were a few draws that reminded me particularly of a caramel latte) Throughout the entire cigar there was also plenty of cream and nuts (at one point, it was specifically walnut).
