headstand Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 The box of BCJ arrived from Czars about 3 weeks ago while I was on vacation. Good Son was kind enough to place them into storage in my absence. On first inspection: amazing that such a small parcel could contain so much wonderful earthy sweet tobacco aroma! Nice smooth wrapper; box pressed with rounded corners. Could not wait to give one a try - so I didn't. Pulled one out of the box, gassed up the Westy and headed out to Banff National Park for some mountain air and some chill time. Aroma at cold: earthy sweet tobacco. Construction: nice colorado wrapper, well formed cap, and a just-right draw. Flavour: we don't know how to describe it, but we all know and recognize it - that unique Bolivar flavour we crave. Sure it has pepper and earth. Coffee?! I say it deserves its own flavour tag. I suggest "Bolivar" - full stop! Full flavoured, yet smooth. Nice lingering finish... Strength: for me the start of the BCJ is like going straight to the second third of a Bolivar Petit Corona. Med-full to full strength and no turning back. Burn: Impeccable. The re-lights were entirely my fault as I greedily tried to lengthen the experience. Wrap up: wonderful smoke that, despite it's small size, delivered big flavour. It kept me entertained while I got the BBQ and lawn chair set up. I was well into my rum and coke, and deep into chapter 19 of St. Augustine's City of God when the cigar's youth manifested itself and signaled it was time to put it away. Bliss. Highly recommended. Ask Lisa to set you up with a box.
Styler Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 What are your thoughts on the BCJ vs the Party Short? I've always meant to try the BCJ but always end up buying shorts instead as I love them
thechenman Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Nice review. I agree with you on the intensity of the BCJ...however, in this vitola, I definitely prefer the Partagas Shorts.
bassman Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Now that I've finally run out of Partagas TPCs, the Boli CJs are the best small cigar around. IMHO, much better than PArty Shorts, RASCC, etc. Of course, I love Bolivar's flavor.
ksblazer Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 What are your thoughts on the BCJ vs the Party Short? I've always meant to try the BCJ but always end up buying shorts instead as I love them Both are must have's IMO
headstand Posted June 7, 2011 Author Posted June 7, 2011 I've never had the the Partagas Short, but I just happen to have a couple in the humidor courtacy of a Czars Party Pack... will report back after the weekend. I do like the 898, P2, D4 so I'm expecting good things. But I gotta say, me and the Bolis 'have a thing going on'.
nick17 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 one of my favorite bolivars I would love to pick up a box of them
