Brun del Ré 1787 Rain Forest Piccolo

The Brun del Ré 1787 Rain Forest Piccolo, a beautiful creation from Costa Rica, immediately catches the eye with its dark-brown wrapper and its pleasant double band. Its smooth and slightly glossy texture reflects careful construction, adding to the aesthetics of this compact cigar measuring 76.2 mm in length and 17.5 mm in diameter.

From the very beginning of the tasting, the first olfactory contact reveals an intriguing bouquet. Pre-light aromas showcase slightly sweet notes, accompanied by hints of fruit and a subtlety of tobacco. Upon lighting, the aromas evolve towards a dominance of pepper, mingled with wood and a creamy touch that slowly unfolds, offering a pleasant complexity.

On the palate, the aromatic development is captivating. In the first third, flavors of pepper blend with hints of chocolate, while the texture becomes creamy. The mid-tasting accentuates earthy notes and some nutty undertones, reflecting an interesting evolution. In the final third, the strength of the pepper returns forcefully, balanced by chocolate and a persistent presence of wood, creating a tasting experience that is both rich and satisfying.

The finish leaves a sensation that is both creamy and slightly bitter, accompanied by a pleasant length. This balance between strength and sweetness, along with the complexity of the aromas, makes this small cigar an enticing choice for a well-deserved break. Its solid construction ensures an easy draw and a consistent burn, enhancing its potential to surprise without demanding too much time.

Ideal for a moment of relaxation, this little gem can be enjoyed in the mid-afternoon, paired with a black coffee or a lightly sweetened tea, aimed at accentuating its aromas while making it a moment of pleasure.
