Bolivar Belicoso Fino

[Bruin]

Anyone know the difference between the 2 types of Bolivar Belicoso Finos? It seems one is in a dress box and the other a cabinet (SLB?). What is the distinction, if any? Are the cigars the same and just the packaging different.

Thanks for your help.

The cigars will be the same. There was a time, some say, that the nicest looking cigars were used

for the "cabinet selection" (slb). Also, pre 2004, most cigars in cabs would not have had bands.

You can expect varying degrees of box press in a dress box, with no press from a cabinet.

Also, many feel cigars age better in a cab vs. a dress box.

It has been a while since I have seen a dress box of BBF.

Same cigars.....but BBF just don't look right outside of a SLB cab ;-)

my early 07's are a DB and I wish I had a SLB. At least they are great smokes:)

Thanks for the info, everyone. I'll let you all know how they taste when I get a chance to light one up.

Happy New Year.
