THE GET<\/strong>: I received this cigar from Brun del Re at SmokeEasy in October of last year. This is a fantastic event that I have attended the last two years with my good friend. It is a great chance to meet some of the people who produce and provide the enjoyment we are all looking for in cigars. This is a sampling event only, there are no cigar sales. Your admission gets you a cigar from each booth, where you can learn about the company and the cigar. It doesn\u2019t hurt that you can sample various spirits also. This event for 2011 is without a location and will try to find one for 2012. You will be greatly missed this year, my dear friend (not you Josh, SmokeEasy). <\/p>\n

THE SMOKE LOCATION:<\/strong> I smoked this cigar the morning of day 3 on a weekend backpacking trip to Pamelia Lake. This was my 5th and last of that trip, and was greatly enjoyed with a couple of cups of coffee fresh off the camp fire. Beautiful scenery was all around and this particular morning was no different. <\/p>\n

THE PACKAGING:<\/strong> The band is very high-class looking with the red on gold with the crest and ornate design. The boxes these come in are a cherry wood colored 3 tiered nicely built box. My overall impression from the packaging is that this is a fancy sophisticated company.<\/p>\n

THE CIGAR: <\/strong>The Colonial series is one of four produced by Brun del Re. This uses a Costa Rican madura wrapper and a filler of Cuban seed and Nicaraguan tobacco. It is available in 5 sizes, this robusto being the smallest. It smelled great and the wrapper had no issues. The wrapper was a nice dark color and the natural oils were present but not overwhelming. It felt very firm and had no soft spots, very nicely packed. Coffee is done, it\u2019s go time.<\/p>\n

THE SMOKE: <\/strong>When I cut into this, the cap held up with no problems. Pre light draw gave the impression of a little stronger cigar than I was expecting. Lighting it was easy and the burn was even. The flavors went very well with the coffee. Does anything go better with coffee than a nice cigar? It started with a little spice but mild and ended without the spice and a little stronger. This was a 45 minute smoke and was a great way to end a trip. <\/p>\n

THE SKINNY:<\/strong> Go try one of these. Definitely a good smoke. With that said, I don\u2019t know where outside of Illinois to purchase them. I also don\u2019t know what they cost. If they are reasonable than that is a bonus. What I know of this company is that they make quality cigars and this fit that description. I will find some of the other blends to try for sure.<\/p>\n
