Bolivar Coronas Gigantes JUN 16 (CRW)

[JoeyBones777]

I was able to snag a box of these before they disappeared when I was first getting into Cuban cigars. Draw and burn were perfect. Flavors were a bit of earth, twang, slight floral sweetness and leather. These flavors would switch in dominance throughout but were always balanced. This is the most elegant vitola from Bolivar. White pepper popped in around the halfway mark, as well as a little coffee in the final third. Not very transitional but elegant, balanced and decent complexity. Why did they discontinue this cigar?! A 94/95. Maybe another year to its prime. Wonderful cigar!
