Bolivar Libertador MSU SEP 19 (SvHC)

[leafdream54]

I’m generally not a fan of hand cannon sized cigars, however, because I am a fan of Bolivar, I wanted to see what this cigar had to offer.  Also, this is my first time to try this cigar.

Nice oily wrapper, v-cut and the draw has a little more resistance than I prefer, but acceptable.

1/3  toasty & earthy

2/3  makes a big flavor transition into excellent dark flavors of guiness with hints of licorice

3/3  returns back to toasty and earthy with quite a bit of youthful bitterness showing up

This was a very flavorful,  medium bodied cigar, from start to finish.  I really enjoyed the flavor transitions this cigar offered, and believe that it will continue to improve greatly more with age.

 

Total points: 92  ->with good upside down the road

Nice review! This is definitely on my list to try!

I smoked this ROTT and it was underwhelming.  5 months later I tried a second and it was fabulous.  Very bright future. Review is spot on!

Thanks. ..I think that anyone that is a fan of the Bolivar flavor profile, should give this one a try.

Nice review! I love these, just had one at about 2 years old Saturday night - flavor bomb! I actually prefer these with a bit of mongrel - I have a box of 4 year olds that’s almost lost too many of its rough edges for my liking.

I feel like these cigars can go the distance easily. Flavor was very bold and intense for me. I see age corralling that intensity a bit.

Recent two years I had some Libertator, they tasted incredibly smooth and sweet, you know these are not typical Bolivars.

Most products taste better when young now, it's a good thing, but that pushed me to buy some "old classic" items which hardly changed their blending.
