El Presidente Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 We did Trinidad Fundadores.....but what about the Coloniales? To me it is my favourite cigar in the Trini lineup. Let's talk Trinidad Coloniales Do you like Trinidad Coloniales Where does it stand compared to other similar cigars. Have you noticed a blend/flavour/body change over the years? If so, approximately when? How long does it take you to smoke a Trinidad Coloniales Do the poll! Trinidad Coloniales!

NSXCIGAR Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 A requiem for the Coloniales... Like them but don't love them. Tries to be perfectly balanced and smooth which can result in some blend inconsistency usually ending up on the lighter side. When on they can be excellent and maybe the best Trini but great ones are uncommon. I do love the vitola however. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Karl Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 One of my favorites. Glad I have 4 boxes left! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 One of the first Trinidads I smoked regularly. Never grabbed full boxes and I regret that. I always found it to be the most intense cigar in the Marca. Wish i went deep on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebarnes Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 My favorite of the marca. Absolutely beautiful at 4+years Needs "grassy/hay" in the description Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjbliven Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I couldn’t count all of the times that I almost pulled the trigger on a box… I had two consecutive boxes of Reyes that were 99% cedar, and that threw me off from Trinidad at the absolute wrong time!!! Oh well, as Prez says, they are just cigars. It is killing me though that I can’t contribute to this poll though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsAnole Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Love the size, but this and Reyes never did it for me. My only ah hah moments with the Marca has been with the fundy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDB Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Really nice cigar. I’ve experienced a lot of variation between boxes, and huge impact of wrapper shade. I’ll miss them when my current stock is gone. Perfect size for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhinoww Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Liked them enough at the time to buy four boxes. Still like them. Not in a love period right now. Perhaps the cost per stick, perhaps taste/seasonality who knows. I dip back every few months. It’s summer and very nice out so I’m plowing into the bigger forbidden Vitolas right now.

Tstew75 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Never have understood Coloniales or Reyes (even at old pricing). They just don't seem to get the high quality leaf like its big brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Tigre Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Have yet to have one. Shied away from boxes due to the quality concerns. The quality blew up and the price went up, sour grapes prevented that purchase then. Boyo, look at the now…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoepssa Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Last Trini I smoked regularly, it wasn't that good before Rob mentioned, one box from 19 changed my mind. Now I have to smoke them like smoking a la Trova .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corylax18 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 If I had to choose one Cuban for the rest of my life, it would be the Coloniales. They're my absolute favorite. I've burned through at least 6 boxes, just during trips to Cuba. I've purchased close to 20 boxes overall and only have about half of two left. I've probably smoked two or three of these for every one of my next most common cigar. I agree with those stating that getting the right box and wrapper shade is important. I hand selected the vast majority the boxes I bought myself, using my own eyes, nose and ears. These and the Fundy's where an astounding deal on the island for years and years. I wish I'd bought more of both!! These filled in the gap for me when the Upmann PC was discontinued, but now 75% of my preferred line up is just a gaping hole in the Habanos portfolio. (the Coloniales might as well be discontinued at the current price) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenpimp Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I've always really liked these, but haven't had one for years. (Box of 2014 was the last one I finished, I believe) I found them fuller and slow burning, more like a robusto, with the same profile as a Fundadore. It's a shame they've been priced out of my wheelhouse, as I loved the size and the profile. Good to see you all, I'm back from a long hiatus from all the boards but have been lurking. -Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
