"the lads were talking about wanting to see Bolivar Corona Junior come back into ready availability. I know you have had plenty of Bolivar Petit Corona which I enjoy. Are they really that different flavourwise?
 

 

Over to you good people. Let  him know your thoughts

I enjoy both very much, I have two 2019 boxes of Corona Junior that I put to age in an empty cab of Party Shorts and they're ageing gracefully 😍

When it comes to choosing between bcj and bpc, the time I have in front of me would be the determining factor given they're very similar in my eyes. Maybe the cj is a bit more powerful and the pc a bit more flavourful, maybe 🤔

I agree with @Li Bai. If you enjoy the Bolivar Petit Corona, you're pretty much guaranteed that you'd enjoy the Bolivar Coronas Junior also, and have both in your humidor. The main difference is the time need to smoke. The BPC should take 60 to 75 minutes, the BCJ around 30 to 50 minutes on average.

In general, you can assume that the BCJ would have more strength. But it's no less desirable than a Bolivar Petit Corona in my view.

Very similar profiles, my experience with both is the BCJ tends to have slightly more dark cocoa and the BPC seem to have a touch more of that rye/ peppery notes. I find the BPC has more richness, but not by much.

I happen to have two 2019 boxes as well. I might need to dip into them soon👌

P.S. great way to reuse an empty 50 cab👏

I would buy which ever one looks better at the time.
