Popular Post rhodges Posted May 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2019 I have a few of these sticks left from a 2010 cab of 50 but i ditched the box as it was taking up too much room so no box code. This cigar was paired with a nitro cold brew with a touch of cream added. While this drink may have influenced my taste more than pairing it with water, it was an absolute knock out! Initial thoughts: Construction appears to be great. The cigar is firm with no soft spots and the foot shows no signs of under filling. Wrapper is on the lighter side with a little bit of sheen, but nothing to write home about. Pre-light: Sweet dark tobacco and the draw is a touch firm but definitely smokable. First third: Cigar opens with a dark earthy flavor for initial puffs and settles into dark chocolate, espresso, and leather. Second third: Absolute cocoa bomb! Taste like hot chocolate with a very strong sweetness that is similar to the way the marshmallows melt into the cocoa. Final third: Continuing with the cocoa and marshmallow with notes of really dark chocolate. The cigar has become stronger but not in that acrid way a younger cigar does. Score: 95 This cigar was an absolute delight! Sure wish i had another 50 cab sitting around from the same period. I'll be keeping my eye out for a box on 24:24 to lay down. If memory serves me right these were not HQ nor PSP. I Can only imagine how those would be after a 9 year nap! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Karl Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 amazing review!! I LOVE it when a Bolivar tastes like that. BPC's are one of the sticks that I am going to load up on to smoke through and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampDelta369 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Great review and pics. What is your storage RH%. I’m still nailing mine down after years at 69%, I am down at 65% now and all burning better now. Especially the NC Maduro and Oscuro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
