A Rare find, by Bolivar from Germany

[mjhpercussioninc]

Can you name it? Have you smoked it? I was really impressed, and I'll post the full title of the cigar in the comments a little later. Cheers!

This band doesn't seem to match any official German RE. Looks like a figurado which would mean it's the Bolivar Tesoros, but those have a "Exclusiva 5ta Avenida" second band.

Where did you get this?

BTW, I smoked three Tesoros so far, two had terrible construction and bitter taste, the third one was just bland.

Looks like a Tesoro but all of mine have 5ta Avenida on band

Damn you Claus!! Beating me to post LOL

Whatever it is, it looks nice. I've yet to sample any regional edition cigars.  No one will sell them to me, because of my dishonest face, not to mention profession.

very curious where you got this.....definitely appears to be a banding mistake if its real. Cheers!

Is it the 109.  They have a slightly tapered head.

That band was on the Colosales which I think was back in 2006. I picked up a few back in the day when I was over there./

The coloring on that Bolivar band looks a bit off.

I would say Colosales or 5a Avenida 109.

Interesting -- it is the 2009 109, 5ta Avenida, but with Alemania band.

I guess until 2015 all bands were Alemania, werent they?

That cigar is definitely flared at the foot. Looks like a figurado. Likely a Partagas Salomones w/ Boli & Germany RE bands.

The Boli Tesoro should absolutely have the 5ta Avenida RE bands as they officially announced that for the Tesoro and the LGC Glorias and Intertabac apparently showed the Tesoro sporting the 5ta Avenida bands at a show in Germany.

I have a VERY exclusive dealer. Only allowed one stick per person.

It's a pre-release Bolivar Tesoro. They had the Exclusivo Alemania band before they changed it to Exclusivo 5ta Avenida.

Had one myself but was not impressed by it. The one that came out this year is much better in my opinion.

I'm sure he is, since this cigar isn't exactly a rarity… it's already available from several shops…

I do not think it's the Tesoro.

It's obviously a double figurado and certainly not a 109…

2nd edition, with bold lettering…

It's an German RE from 2009. It's a 109 size like the Bushido. I got in on a box split of these back in 2009. They were pretty good (but pricey).

Have you looked at the picture? Like NSXCIGAR said, that cigar is definitely flared at the foot. It can't be a 109.

Yup. Whoever says it's a 109 should make an appointment with their optometrist

[Charley]

Maybe the camera angles on that photo is causing it to look that way. Here is another photo. No flared foot. I also don't remember them having a flared foot.

FGS… The cigar on the picture has a flared foot, no one is saying that a 109 has a flared foot… Now, if you believe the cigar of the OP and the cigar in your picture are the same vitola, the appointment with an optometrist is an urgency…

The cigar is a Salomon, is that SO difficult to admit? Can someone tell me why people are systematically discarding this post:
