excellent review :clap:

Spearmint is not something that I have experienced (from memory) on a BPC.

BPC's and BCJ's are two of my favorite go-to's when I want a shorter smoke.  Cloves - yes, bay leaves and other light spices with leather and earth is the most prominent flavors for me.  I do occasionally get a sweetness off of both of these that I'll have to pay closer attention to and see if I get one of the fruit flavors mentioned.

Considering these used to be a $150/box of cigars that now retail for over $300 that is a failing grade. 75/100 points on the Cigar Aficionado rating scale is a "yard gar". But we all know HSA is thumbing their arrogant nose at the world, since so many have the "FOMO" factor these days. They will sell every box regardless of their mediocrity.

I’ll never get a job at CA so I try to use a more reasonable rating system. These days 60-70 would be “boring but smokeable, would be happy to receive as a gift but would regret spending my own coin. 70-80 is “noticeable flaws but still an enjoyable smoke”. 80-90 is “great, wouldn’t think twice about getting a box”, 90+ is “truly exceptional, unforgettable”.

At current prices if I bought a box and they were all like this, I’d feel a little disappointed. If 1/4 were like this and the rest were better, I’d chalk up a win.

Bolivar has always been one of my favorite brands, but the the last few boxes of pc I got were prone to tight draws. I used to tolerate that but I can’t anymore. BCJ seems way better.

I have a 2011 box bought from our host that were very flavorful when young. Now 10+ years later, they seem to have lost their strong Bolivar flavor and body. They have fallen flat dead with age. Very strange.
