Bolivar Belicosos Finos MSU MAY 19 (SMRW3/4)

Wrapper brown matte

1/3: opens up with baking spices on leather and that malty note I look for in this and the BRC. Construction is a bit tight as draw is on firm side and smoke volume lower than usual. Burn is wonky.  Easily holds full third of white Grey ash.

2/3: a definite spicy snap on the retro Hale. This is full flavor full bodied at this young age. No mongrel here though. Solid third

3/3: add some roasty tobacco now into mix of earthy leather. The touch of sweetness coming from that malty Guinness. Smoked it through the band and it gets a little hot. 

Not the best example of the many other BBFs I have had and I think the construction was a bit off. The flavors and intensity are here in spades though despite working for the correct mouthful of smoke. Solid 89 today

nice review, i reviewed one (my first) this weekend and our notes are rather different, which i enjoy. i never found the guinness-y/malt flavor i had in the brc (the only one i've ever had).

thanks for the review.
