Bolivar Petit Corona ULA AGO 14 (BRW)*

[dobbs]

this sort of happened by accident, so i don't have a pic of the burning cigar...

i have a crane showing up this weekend to set some equipment on the roof of my project, so it's an early start to this saturday. generally i commute by motorcycle, but it's early, and saturday parking will be easy, so i take the truck. i grab my 5-count travel humidor which already has a ramon allones gigantes, a lusi, connie a, dip 2, and a bpc.

the drive isn't that long, so i grab the bpc and light it. i've had 5 cigars from this box. the first was forgettable, the third and fourth were good, but not great. the second was great and had me wondering how good these can get. today i smoked the fifth and it was fantastic, even on a commute ride. about halfway through i remember that it's bolivar review weekend, so i decide to cobble something together.

not overly strong, nutty, complex, with good malty flavor. i was reminded why bolivar has recently become my favorite marca. this was highly enjoyable, and i finished the cigar on the street with my coffee. a fantastic pairing, even if the surroundings weren't exactly stellar.

in lieu of a cigar pic (was driving, cut me some slack!) here's a photo of 1/5th of the equipment being hoisted:

i don't generally score cigars, but am easing into that 100-point scale people seem to use. if a good, but run-of-the-mill cigar is 88, and a classic is a 96+, this was a solid 93-94. freaking great smoke, well worth buying more boxes.
