Bit gutted with this purchase, i love Trinidad as a brand and really enjoyed the Trinidad Colniales Short. This cigar was a wee bit tough on the draw, even after altering the cut top improve draw. The first 3rd was pleasant smooth creamy smoke rich in Vanilla, pepper/spicy floral notes. Unfortunately this is when the cigar unraveled and fell apart becoming harsh, bitter, the only cigar i had to stop smoking because of construction flaws. Benefit of the doubt this time round. Will have to revisit and review again.
