Trinidad Coloniales Cigar - Pack of 5

Date Added: Saturday 22 December, 2012 by Michael

Just smoked my first Trinidad Coloniales, I'm a novice to cigars so you should view my review with caution! The first two thirds of the cigar I definitely found the draw too firm, I just wasn't getting enough smoke to get a real appreciation for the flavours. In the last third it really opened up, and I assume this was because the last third in this cigar was packed less densley. I bought two of these, and i'll keep the other in my humidor for awhile to see if it adds anything - if i'm going from this one experience alone however, I'm going to shoot for a harsh 2/5 - I was expecting a little more.

A fairly firm draw. Flavours are creamy roasted coffee.

I bought one of these because my friend smoke cigars so i thought why not. Now im hooked in cuban cigars and its because of this little sweetheart of a cigar. I have smoked about 20 of these between other various cuban cigars and this is still one of my favourite. I recommend this highly but cannot score this 5 stars as there are plenty more cubans cigars to sample so may have to come back and re-score this one again in a few years time. Buy buy buy

The cigar looks amazing, with its beautiful dark wrapper, oily sheen and a Trinidad gold banding which is always nice on the eyes! Draw was a little difficult as tobacco was fairly tightly packed, with medium amount of smoke, certainly not as much (with a not as easy draw) as the Robusto T or even the Reyes. Still, the taste was more spicey than the Robusto (though less creamy), and more deep richer than the Reyes. Roasted taste intensified during the second third of the cigar, with hints of sweetness found. Ash has started off uneven, but did level off after an inch, with the ash lasting around1 1/2 inches until falling. Dark grey ash, again not as smooth as the Montecristo No. 2, but smoother than the Robusto T and Reyes, with white star-like nodules present (similar to the Reyes). Apart from the size, which is modest, though not one I would prefer, the taste and look of the cigar was first class. I am very harsh when I score any cigar (remember 4-5 is excellent, 3 is middle of the road, with 1-2 as not so good), but 4/5 is very good. Not bad price for a Cuban Trinidad, medium sized stick packed with roasted spicy, leather and coffee flavours with hint of sweetness.

Good construction; immediately pleasing to eyes, nose and fingers. No hassle when lighting. After first couple of draws, body and flavour become apparent; warm, full; slightly spicy, leather and coffee with a slight pepper... through hearty and cheering leather, cocoa and pepper to woody, still creamy, peppery and gentle leather flavours. I smoked this cigar with a spiced rum; it complimented the softer elements of the flavour. I've only a young palate, so I hope to enjoy this cigar in a few years time, after a little more practice. To conclude: Yes. Ever-so-slightly-cheaper than other equivalent, recommended, big-name smokes, without being inferior. Ferg

smokes - really first class. Even more so considering they are young sicks. By now or regret for ever. Consistent, good draw, med/full flavour and strength, great blend = no bitterness. written by Asgard
