earthson Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 Not under the radar nor a cigar that no one talks about, but I guess with this forum, there's none of those left! Just got a box of these and couldn't resist trying one ROTT. I've enjoyed Bolivar in the past - especially the Gold Medal, which, unfortunately, I cannot find anymore. I wouldn't divide this minuto into thirds. Although it lasts for about an hour and the flavors seemed to evolve constantly, it was more of a journey from light to nub. Overarching coffee that stays throughout the smoke - sometimes with cream and sometimes not. Elements of wood, chocolate, marshmallow, loads of spice, and even random fruit all pop in and out. Strength was STRONG! I don't normally prefer cigars quite this strong, but I guess that ensures that this cigar will be around long enough to age into the smooth beast I know it can be.
Charltonc Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 This is my favorite small cigar and my favorite Bolivar.
CapoKing Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 I've burnt 3 boxes of these with that box code. Delicious !!
maxcjs0101 Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 I got a box of MUR FEB 13 and im waiting for it to be delivered. Wonder how will they be...
mncz Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 My first cuban cigar! Can't wait to have one again – I believe I still have 1 or 2 in the box.
investandprosper Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I just got a box of these in, same box code. They look amazing, can't wait to fire one up!
earthson Posted April 25, 2014 Author Posted April 25, 2014 As I burn through a few, they seem to be moving into an off period - or maybe it's because I've been grabbing the lighter-colored wrappers with an eye on letting the darker ones sit for a while. BTW, I've been wanting to try some of the SCdlH Principes and wouldn't mind trading some of these BCJs (or Party Shorts) for a fiver or so...
mrsgucia Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Just ordered a box a those a few days ago. Should get in a month if lucky 1
randomdude Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I'd like to give this one another shot. Tried one last summer and was surprised by a very powerful buzz from it, I'm not sure if it was a nicotine effect or just an off night. After seeing these positive reviews its worth another try, but after a nice big meal!
investandprosper Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Smoked two during golf yesterday, and they were outstanding. They pack a bunch, full bodied with bold flavor!
Habana Mike Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Right up there with the RASCC, Shorts and El Principe for me depending on mood. Great short smokes.
kingy Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 These are fantastic. Got into a lunchtime habit with them at work. 1
earthson Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 I'd like to give this one another shot. Tried one last summer and was surprised by a very powerful buzz from it, I'm not sure if it was a nicotine effect or just an off night. After seeing these positive reviews its worth another try, but after a nice big meal! I'm saying it's the nicotine efx. I mean, for such an unassuming looking little cigar, this thing will set you back! I like a good nic hit, but methinks these might need to set for a year or three before they're in my range. They are great to hand out, however, because folks who don't normally smoke cigars have always heard how strong Havanas can be and this sucker definitely delivers!
Homebrew Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 I have a box, of the same code, and yes they are nice, but after the first one, they are going down for a long rest. I have ordered 2 more boxes, and will put them all down for a nice long nap. I was getting pretty strong tannins, in the last third. I am thinking they will be great, in a few years. Dave (A.K.A. Homebrew) 1
earthson Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 Def agree. While most smokes tell me they need time with a muddled 2nd third, the last third of these BCJs scream DRYNESS (which, yes, must be a buttload of tannins that need to cure out). 2
bradbrennan Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Well, sounds like there's a good chance the ones I have in transit are going to be awesome... they won't be resting much!
samuelsmithbeer Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I prefer these over RASCC and Partagas Shorts. Great flavor bombs. 1
olotti Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 One of my fav Boli's just ordered a box with the same code and it's been awhile since I've had em, been burning through the BPC's lately. I love this cigar for its in your face mongrel style flavor bomb, prob my fav minuto next to the RASCC.
scottdurand Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I have a box from this code and they are simply put, superb! Love these
earthson Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 How do these compare to the BPCs? I would say that the CJ and PC are very similar in flavor, but the CJs are a little stronger and, in my experience, have more going on in the flavor department than the PC.
rhcolbert Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Good review. I've blown threw a box from 2006 way too fast.
mikek Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Damn I knew I shouldn't have read this now I need to go scare up A box or two! This is the kind of cigar I like when I'm out playing and need to take A break and walk around!
