Bolivar Petit Corona ETP NOV 16 (MPCRW)

[Bucky McSwensen]

Not a lot of pics of the actual smoking unfortunately due to hiding my shame of wanting to document a review for an online forum when enjoying an evening stroll with my girlfriends family.

Enjoyed these with two others this weekend.  Slightly dry lighter wrapper but beautiful sticks with a nice leather aroma at cold.  Was expecting some strong peppery leather flavors at light but was hit with a sweet woodsy earth flavor.  Little bit of a tight draw due to a possible knot under the band but some patience and determination opened it up at the half.  Definitely a contender for the perfect draw but just toughed it out instead.

Second third added a little pepper and leather but kept an almost honey vanilla sweetness to it.  Much mellower than the last one I enjoyed.  Smoke output improves.

Final third gave some baking spices and gave me a heavy nicotine hit and left my lips tingling.  This wasnt unpleasant, it was a unexpected joy!  No vape pen for me tonight!  Smoked down to the nub and it never got hot.

Unfortunately my future brother outlaw had some burn and draw issues on his but he also rarely finishes cigars so there were no verbal complaints.  Since I am only scoring my own I will say it was the best boli pc I've had flavor wise, just a little bummed on the tight draw.  Never satisfied, always a critic. Most of my bpc experience is with newer 18 stock so this was a treat and leaves me excited to age my boxes.  I snagged some of the aged 14 bpc last week so I am very excited to see how those smoke.
