Bolivar Libertador ULA NOV13: Ode to 53+ ring gauge

[cigaraholic]

I'm no donkey dick lover, I'd be happy smoking dalias the rest of my life. But since the turn of the century I've learned to not buy cigars by size or brand, just chase the best tobacco. I got a box of these to see if they would scratch my big Bolivar itch and they did! I'm halfway thru my second box.

This cigar is well filled, 17.2 gr but the draw is still a little to open for my liking.

1/3: lightning it I get a lovely sweet roasted coffee flavor. On the 3rd or 4th puff the cigar just gets decadent and I think...slow down, don't overheat this Yule log. There's an incredible mouth coating sweetness with roasted coffee, vanilla wafer, chocolate and that beautiful Cuban earthiness. I feel like I'm smoking 3000 calories.

2/3: I made some french press coffee with Baileys to go with the cigar but but decided to wait till the last 3rd because the flavors are so delicious. The cigar has gone from medium to slightly over and the flavors have come together and are just lip smacking.

3/3 now medium full, the coffee has gone to espresso, the chocolate is bittersweet and the rich earthiness just keeps building. I took one sip of coffee, lost flavors, had some water to get the flavors back...had the coffee after the cigar. What a great smoke!

I'd give this cigar a 98....one point off for not making me dinner and one point off for not sleeping with me.

Wonderful review.  I have not tried my box as I got them yesterday.   I think I might be regretting getting only 1 box.

Great review, thanks.  I love the idea of chasing the best tobacco rather than a specific size or brand.  I wonder how it is accomplished.  Thanks again for the review.

Love the Libertador... it just delivers so much.  I think I would have scored it 97 though; it should lose another point just because it's over 50 of RG ;-)

Thanks for the review.

Nice review. I have a full box from a similar box date. I already couldn't wait to crack it open. Now I really can't wait.

Very nice review! They are a very good smoke, IMO... one of the best Bolis, for me.
