I'd have to agree. For me they've been so consistently good they're almost mundane.

(meant in the best possible way). I'd put the Montecristo No.4 in the same category.

Is there a better cigar to turn someone who smokes "Domestics" on to the beauty of a fine Habano? I don't think so.

I vividly recall the first one gifted to me and I sat there for 45 minutes or so saying---whatever I have to do to get more of these--I'm going to do it! LOL

Nice review Pres!

[JeepCop]

Ahhh! My favorite PC bar none! Thanks for the review Prez.

Thanks for the review. After reading all these reviews I realize

how unrefined my palate is !

Love this cigar. Its my 2nd favorite PC behind the PLPC. Still a great great smoke...

Truly one of my favorite PC's. When I moved from only belicosos and churchills to the small cigar realm. This beaty was waiting to woo me in.

I'm with you there, Quint.

I have been on a good run with cigars of late. The SLR Regio put me in a great frame of mind for the week and so yesterday afternoon I fired up a great looking little Bolivar Petite Corona from DIC 05 from a dress box of 25. Box pressed, oily wrapper, open foot, nicely bunched and smells of a hen house in summer.

Clipped the foot, perfect draw with a taste on the lips of clean toasted tobacco. Nice :-)

Torched the foot, pepper spice and burn't BBQ but found its rythm quickly. Medium full body, sweet paprika, leather and a core of mazapan nougat cookies that my Auntie gives me for breakfast with my coffee when I visit Spain.

Building in strength through the mid section. Still balanced as dark coffee is introduced to the flavour mix. Burn't sugar notes. White pepper still through the nose. Bready/doughy mid palate. Ball tearer.

Built in strength right to the very end. It was only the last inch that I found it to be out of whack/ out of balance where bitterness took hold and wouldn't let go. I would age these cigars in a heartbeat.

Bolivar Petite Corona. Dollar for dollar, consistently the best PC on the market.
