Bolívar Short (ER Andorra 2017) WORST Regional I have ever Smoked

[toledo1969]

Last night I wanted a quick Smoke, had a nice dinner with the family, I was between a LGC Serie D #5 and this Bolivar Short ER Andorra 2017. I decided on the Bolivar, I had smoked one from the box before, I remembered it was not very good, so I thought to give it one more try. 

The draw was mediocre, it went out at least 20 times, because of the constant Relighting the Cigar smoked really hot. It tasted like Acid, Tanic, Bad Coffee, Metallic, and just very very hot. Woke up with a very bad Throat. I had some Ardbeg Uigeadail with this Cigar and well the Scotch was very good, but the combination was horrible, when you are trying to light up the cigar each puff you take, complete disappointment. 

I've smoked some bad Regionals, but this one is now My #1 Worst Regional Edition, I had this Bolivar Andorra at 62% RH, so this was not the case for the Relighting, I just think it was a badly rolled Habano, you could tell with the difficult draw. 

Well I will leave the box and maybe give it another try in another 5 years, maybe I will sell it to some Regional Junkies in my Cigar Club. 

Looking forward to smoking tomorrow night a nice Vintage Montecristo EL 2007 C to forget about yesterday's bad experience

Always disappointing when you rightfully expect so much!

We have all been there at one time or another. Let the cigar Gods bless you with a magnificent experience the next time that flame brushes the foot.

Not to pile on but I've not heard good things about the LGC D5 regional either... ?

I agree. Now I have 39 sticks I don't wanna smoke left. Win some, loose some!
