Bolivar Belicoso Finos ONSU - 01/98 (FWRC) Side by Side Review

Bucky McSwensen · November 5, 2019

Lighter thin wrapper with a decent amount oil still present. Draw draw is sweet earthy stout flavors. First few puffs are amazing, Everything I hoped an aged bolivar would be. Some of the similarly aged sticks I have tried have been on the bland side. Not the case here. Rich, robust earthy tones with some sweet grassy tea flavors. Second third calms down a bit and gives me a bit less of the grass and some citrus coffee tones. Final third continues to please with the greatest hits of flavors from before. This thing is complex and has had a razor sharp burn the whole way. Perfect smoke.

I enjoyed this with my girlfriends former coworker who was hosting a halloween party. She had an 18 secretos (because she liked the yellow in the band) that had some burn and relight issues. When I was fixing it for her she took one puff off the BBF just to try and was blown away by how strong it was.

I value this at 30 bucks.

Cuba Ratio - 3.92

I would love to have more of these. This is by far may favorite regular smoke and this aged one is absolutely superb. No idea on how long I can hang on to my current stash as I have already burnt through my my 2017 boxes. Gonna try and tuck some away into the bottom of the cooler for a time capsule for long term so I can have a shot at revisiting this dream
