This has to be one of the most refined and well-balanced cigars on the market. Very smooth and creamy coffee, cedar and light earth flavours, with none standing out. Reminds me of Siglo II, but way more subtle.

Appearance :
The Trinidad Coloniales is a real beauty with its silky and oily wrapper, the minor veins and of course the twisted cap. Looks can be deceiving, but in this case they weren’t.
 
Construction :
The construction of the cigar is excellent: it’s spongy, perfectly filled and has superb burning qualities along with a perfect draw.

Flavor :
It is mild-medium flavour and body with a slick dance of subtle flavours - sweet woods, coffee and chocolate develop down the smoke with fresh notes of vanilla and coconut arriving later on with a spice on the nose which heightened in the final third. This is a very delicious and refined cigar with complexity to the hilt.

Value :
Like other Trinidads they are a bit costly, but if you want a sure thing for your money, you can’t really go wrong with these.

Overall Rating :
This cigar is a must for the aficionado, however realize this is an evening cigar to be smoked slowly as to not overpower you. A man’s cigar and a special taste equal to the Bolivars.
