Colt45 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 POS FEB 06 Construction: Firm but not hard, with a slightly loose wrap in the triple cap - this was not a detriment. Wrapper: Deep tan / light caramel in color. Smooth with a light sheen. Minimal veining. Draw: Perfect draw, with tons of smoke. An excellent burn all the way down. Taste: Started out with a nice combination of white pepper and salty spice. Toasty tobacco, supple leather, and a bit of nuttiness. Medium in body. Nearly an inch in, the spice combination started to subside, and the subtle leather became more predominant. Halfway through, it became more earthy, with the tobacco and leather coming to the fore. The spice components are a light backdrop. Now completely full in body. This is how this one finished, though near the very end, I picked up very slight hints of what I can only describe as vanilla pudding - not strong - but light fleeting hints. A great cigar, that made me want to ignite another. I can't help but rate it at 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorax429 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Another nice review Colt. On a TPC kick are we? :-D I have a box from Sept '05 that I have been enjoying the heck out of. My experience with them has been pretty similar to what you describe. Given the strength of the Boli PC's I've smoked, I was a little surprised that the BCJ seemed to land more in the medium bodied end of the spectrum(at least in my limited experience). Still a spectacular little smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelticBasque Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I was giften one from '03 that I was hoping to let reach the ripe age of 5 years... now it may meet its demise much sooner! Nice review, Colt!! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Great little cigar.I am going to light an 04 issue myself this morning..... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I have never tried one, shame on me. I love the Bolivar line so much that Rob should send me a few freebies to try on my next order.;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickman Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 My 05's are excellant also...I find them a little stronger than the PC and they kind of remind me of SCDH El Principe's stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 » On a TPC kick are we? :-D No doubt Cold weather demands it. The smart thing to do would have been to stock up last year, but....... anyway, Celtic, if you enjoy Bolivar, I'd have to think you'd enjoy it - whenever you decide to smoke it. You guys are all correct - a great little cigar. Melvin, I'm sure Rob would be happy to oblige - unless one is to believe the things Ken has said - alligator arms and such.

olotti Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Thanks for the review. The BCJ is one of my hands down fav's and I find them stronger than the PC's. A box of these for me never lasts more than a couple months, they are to good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Presidente Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Great review Colt. Without doubt a half corona favourite. I think it sometimes strugles to earn the kudos it deserves because competition in that vitola is the greatest of all: Cohiba Siglo 1 Trinidad Reyes Ramon Allones Small Club Corona Bolivar Corona Junior Montecristo No 4 Diplomatico No 5 San Cristobal Principe Partagas Shorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrink Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Thanks, Colt. I occasionally pull one out of my '04 box, and treat myself. Mine have the most distinct black cherry flavor I have ever enjoyed. When you add the twang, they taste like a tart cherry cola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stever Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Nice review Colt. It's pretty much spot-on with what I've experienced. Got the exact same code, but haven't smoked one since last August. Time to revisit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1f1fan Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I love these cigars. I have some 03's that are smoking very well now. Very harsh up until the past month or so, much more enjoyable now. I've smoked some young RC's that were nice, good to see young CJ's are approachable also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
