smokum Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 Beautiful day but rain coming in. Chose this Boli Corona to enjoy on the front porch with ice water. I looked forward to this corona. Beautiful wrapper with a slight crack in the foot but should be ok. Very firm cigar with a bit of weight to it but felt a slight not at the band.Bunch seemed fairly compact too.. Smell at cold was of sweet barnyard whatever that is. Clipped the cap and revved her up 1/3-First few draws showed a sweet cedar with some creamy roasted nuts thrown in. Smoke volume is poor and its pissing me off. Drw is just a bit tight and not to my liking. Hoping it will open up. 2/3 -Draw seemed to open a slight amount but still an "airy" low volume draw. I figured this was going to be a write off for me. Flavors were of paprika and cedar with some hints of creamcheese although very muted due to the draw. 3/3 - Draw worsens and its just an airy,low smoke volume muted flavered cigar. Every now and then I would get a good burst of flavors so I soldiered on but in the end it was too much work for too little enjoyment. The wrapper began to undress itself too. I worked hard to get it to this point and threw in the towel My friend laughed at me . He came as soon as I fired it up. I hate him.

Rob is calling for the review of an Inmensa. Perhaps you two are in different dimensions?
El Presidente Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 » » What am I, chopped liver? :-P Sorry Chopped Liver :cool: Thanks for the review Smokum. Damn shame it did not meet expectations as it looked beautiful. Keep the squirel close. He is a fine feature of your reviews :-) I would make him into a hat ;-)
greenpimp Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Oh and Smokum---good review. I've had hit and miss luck with the Boli Corona. And I love the size, as well as the marca.
bobsled Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks for the review Smokum. I have SVF 12-05 and have had one plugged, one just right (review posted) and one that was a bit loose! Wonder if communism may foster inconsistency in quality :-|
