Bolivar CE

[tigger]

Had one from a sometime in '07 50 ct cab for lunch today.

Not much of a review here, other than to say their earthy, fruity strength will be very very tasty in a few years.

Very strong, but the strength doesn't overwhelm the flavors, which I can't say about a couple of the higher-priced, limited Dominican Davidoff's I've had at the end of this year.

Aren't these terrific? Currently my favorite Bolivar, and one of the very best of all the 2006-07 vintage. I also smoked a '99 and an '01 recently, but I think that the recent ones are better. As you say, sweeter and fruitier. The older ones had more of an 'earthy' profile, which I don't like as much.

I have an '06 cabinet in storage - I'm looking forward to trying them some day. :-)

I have a box of '07s that are half gone already. I can't keep my hands off of them.

Cracked into my 07 Cab for my Christmas day smoke. Maybe the best cigar I have had this year. Christmas Eve was an Upman SW from 03 box. I guess I was better this year than I thought

smoked an 06 on Christmas eve...great medium full bodied cigar with earthy and fruit, coffee notes...I should have bought the whole box...

Very impressed with 06 & 07 BCEs. 04s very bland. 01 &98 great if you get a good box, but lots of very tightly rolled ones around then too.

Right on. I can't recall too many production Habanos that have been out and out harsh without the benefit of other redeeming qualities.

The pick of 07 Corona Gorda's ;-)
