Trinidad Coloniales ars Jun 17 - 46 South Review comp

[Stump89]

I haven't had a Trini in a little while, and I've never had the Coloniales, so I decided to light this one up. From 24:24 a few months back, these sticks look great.  It has a great cedary aroma. Cold draw is kind of grassy, but not bad.

Opens with the grassy note from the cold draw, but it's short and replaced by a light creamy coffee flavor. There's also a shortbread/ sugar cookie kind of taste as well on the finish.

Around the halfway point the flavors become a little more intense, a nutty flavor comes through for a little while, but the Coloniales doesn't change much otherwise.  It's a nice flavor profile that's suiting me well for the morning.

Wrapping up, nothing else really changes.  Medium body at most and pleasant flavor for the hour and some change it took to smoke.  I prefer the Reyes as I find it a little stronger and more intense, but I liked the Coloniales. Might go with a 89 rating.
