Supremely glad I'm still holding 5 or maybe even 6 boxes of these. A real gourmands cigar. A blend that is both juxtaposed, but also seamlessly balanced. Like that sort of oddity, say for instance if you found yourself dipping a marshmallow in a rich dark roast beef bone gravy. Someone might look at you and go, "Jesus that's disgusting!" But who are they kidding...tastes good to me!.

I'm slowly killing some 2013's. Lord almighty! BMBO (blowin' my balls off). Clean off. Wish I had gone really deep on them when I had the chance. What a great unrecognized stick.

Love this cigar. Not sure how many boxes I had...I smoked them all probably quicker than anything else I have ever had. Sad they are gone 😢

These kick butt. I need to hunt down a box.

Sad they are gone. I only have 14 left from my last box ULA ABR 15. Trying to drag them out as much as I can.

What a great description. It's just so apt. And of course you are right, these are just 'so out of this world' for me at the moment. I'm down to a third of a box.

If only.... it’s a shame how few Bolivars are left.  I did but some when I heard about discontinuation but not enough. The Tubos #1 are treasures.

I'm skeptical as to the notion that the only thing these cigars were missing is ditching the Tubos. I understand the logic, i.e. the Boli 1 fans are committed enough to invest in 50cabs, and oh, how pretty they would look. But some of the best cigars I've ever had have been tubos, indeed I would say the a good 70% of the biggest hitters 97+ have been tubos. I'm a big believer in tubos, letting cigars choke in their own juices, off-gas and re-absorb their own essence over and over again, to me delivers a great product over and over again. In my experience it offers you something unique, often all the edges have all gone, but the body becomes huge, and the nic hit still seems to be intact. 

In conclusion, tubos in general are a great choice for those who like a refined monster. The Spitfire of cigars.

I've only had the pleasure of smoking a tubos 1 once. But god damn was it a great cigar. One of the many they should've never discontinued.
