Bolivar Colosales RE 2006

[Bartolomeo]

Initial is some sweet spice

Cigar reminded me of a big strong guy but when you actually get to know him, he's a push over, a real Teddy bear

Loads of smoke

Light chocolate, hints of leather, cinnamon

Kind of enjoyed it b/c it doesnt show any true Bolivar flavors which I dont care for except Simones RE

Enjoyed the flavors but a little too mild for me maybe.......Stop the Press, turns into Medium in the 2/3

Long, White/Grey layered ash, great draw, perfect construction

Maybe a good golf course smoke if you want something light after gulping down that chili dog at the turn

Cigar turned the corner in the 2/3 opening up with some more flavors and strength

Ended up really enjoying this smoke, mouth watering flavors

Understand it only comes in a 50 Cab so I am off to search for singles

9.2/10

Decided to light up my only one last night in honor of my son's 1st Birthday after he went to sleep. The cigar had been in my humidor since it's release kept at 65/65.

It was my first ever Bolivar so I'm not exactly sure what other Bolivars taste like but I really enjoyed this one. It wasn't too strong, perhaps medium bodied throughout. The ash was a dark grey and held on for about an inch before falling on it's own. The burn wasn't exactly straight but corrected itself each time it began to canoe.

I'm not the greatest at detecting flavors but I got some toasted tobacco, leather and spice. Lot's of smoke as the draw was nearly perfect in my opinion. Towards the end of the cigar the spice picked up but not overwhelming at all.

I really enjoyed this cigar. Just wish I had a few more.

Nice Bart. Good review. You almost distracted me with the chili dog, though!!!

Thanks Bart! I just don't get it with the Simones having typical Bolivar taste, but maybe that isn't what you meant? Simones taste like a typical regional to me. Very tasty, though...I like the christmas cake flavours! The Colosales I've smoked have been easygoing but enjoyable like you say.
