Bolivar Corona Junior 15/16 box : Ode to the 40 and 42 gauge review week

[Cmelle]

I purchased a quarter box of these 2 months ago from 24:24. They were listed as clearance, mix of 15 and 16 box codes (hence why I don't have a box code). 

I had my first one just the other day and I can still taste it on my lips haha. What a cracker. Full power, and full flavour.

At first light i was like '"wow". It's been a while since I've had that hit of full bodied goodness. Strong but not harsh. No rough edges. What a treat.

Started earthy, but a nice earth. Touch of salt. Spice, dark coffee. Just so enjoyable.

I was halfway through and I was already thinking of ordering a box. 

I was expecting leather, but didn't really get any. 

Finished nice and smooth. A bit of a nutty character came along and also some toastiness. 

Beautiful cigar. Ordering a full box very soon. 

Also I might add, I smoked this after breakfast with a coffee. Left to go to work shortly after, and the nicotine hit me.

I felt queezy, and felt like I wanted to throw up. One of the worst nicotine hits I've felt. Maybe because I'm not used to smoking right after breakfast, or maybe just because I'm an amateur haha. Either way, I wouldn't take it back. I'd probably just have a bigger meal next time before smoking one.

Great review!

I also don't find much leather in the BCJ. That's somewhat reserved for the BPC. BCJ is all earth, dried fruit/raisin tanginess and nuttiness, and can be very complex.

The BCJ--when good--is the best Minutos, period. Looks like you got a good one!

Good for you to smoke such a powerhouse after breakfast. My hat's off to you!

Great job, thanks!

Haha @JohnS i had no idea it would have been that powerful.
