Bolivar Royal Corona, 2015, Bolivar Review Comp

[TypicalSituation]

Initial apology for not having the entire box code. Was lazy about it when I received these and only noted the year.

I had the afternoon off work and decided it would be the perfect double down Bolivar afternoon, BRC then a BBF. I've got nowhere to be and time to kill.

Drink of choice, water.

Beautiful milk chocolate wrapper with a touch of sheen. Clipped with my palio and lit with a xikar single flame torch.

First third was a leather and cedar show. The occasional earthiness came in, and a touch of milk chocolate showed up for a brief moment.

Second third continues to tease with a light milk chocolate, cedar, leather and the underlying earthiness. Toasted to tobacco and a bit of harshness are creeping in late in the second third.

Final third comes to a short and abrupt ending, when I try to swat a bee off my arm and drop my cigar. I can't say I was too heartbroken, as the brc was getting a touch harsh.

Loved the first half of the cigar, but for my personal taste, I'll be letting the rest sit for at least 6 months before trying again.... Certainly can't wait to see how it turns out, as every time I smoke one of these, it gets better and better.
