Ah tis a dreary day with a cloudy gray sky and sprinkles of rain on and off. Not a breeze to be found. After putting the baby girl down for her nap, I went digging and came up with a Bolivar Colosales RE from 2006.
The wrapper was light brown with not too much noticeable oil, and very coarse with a patchwork of veins up and down. Nice looking bunching in the foot and the typical triple cap on top. Using the largest ring on my Swiss Army, I punched the head and got an absolutely perfect draw.
I torched the foot letting it become a nice red ember and blew on it to get an even burn. First few draws were fantastic with taste of a strong fresh brewed coffee with sugar and a very rich cream. Ah heaven. I found it to be a perfect medium strength with a long delicious finish. Did I taste fresh brewed coffee with cream and sugar or a rich dark chocolate cocoa? Salt mixed with sweetness on the lips. Hints of what seemed to be citrus came through at the halfway point, maybe a very slight hint of cinnamon spice. I found the smoke to have a perfect balance of flavors. Bluish smoke flowed from the ash with a wonderful smell. Whitish gray solid ash formed with no burn issues at all. The cigar ashed itself about ¼ of the way in and continued to burn smoothly.
I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar, had to be one of the best Bolivar’s I’ve had to date. This is without a doubt my favorite marca of cigar. Just something about the sweet, yet dark rich flavor in a Bolivar I find to suit my taste perfectly.

Then he got all comfy beside me, so I just had to take another.
