Thanks for the review guys

I've an '06 cabinet in deep storage that I'm looking forward to sampling from - some day.

[CigarZen]

"A legend of a cigar." Agreed, one of the best -- and at regular prices.

[terrantheman]

awesome review and hysterical bunch of blokes!

[Bolismoker]

Great review of an all time classic. Thanks fellas

[greenpimp]

Great review guys. One of my all time favorite cigars.

Used to be this cigar would blow your head off young. Not so much anymore, eh?

Still, love the profile even if more medium now, and hope to pick up aother cab. Though I discovered I have 5 boxes when I reorganized my cabinet. Oh and my '04s still STINK.

[El Presidente]

Great job Smithy

That was an enjoyable afternoon. The BCE certainly performed to expectations.

[CigarmanTim]

I'm a bit of a Boli fan...somehow the BCE has escaped me. Perhaps my next purchase. Thank you guys for another great review.

[lutharthegreat]

Nice review men.

Bravo, boys! A good honest review of a good, honest cigar. Rob, I also have both the dress box and cab versions from the same era, and agree that there is a subjective difference. Bought a 2006 DB, and after smoking ONE, immediately grabbed a cab. Then bought a FEB07 cab, which I haven't even cracked. I don't believe that they segregate cigars according to DB and Cab, but there's something about the way a cigar ages in a cab that seems to intensify the flavor profile.

Frankly, the CE has become my favorite Bolivar vitola, though I sampled an DIC07 BBF ROTT that impressed me. It was "juicy", and I don't mean like Lucy!

Great review! Just smoked one this past week and loved it. I'm still fairly new to Cubans, but this one had a profile I really enjoyed.

[Olblue]

Sooo, when Smitty was describing "a bit of nutty character", was he talking about the cigar or the group as a whole?

[Warren]

I have just bought a box of these and can't wait to try one.

Actually this is my very first box of cigars, I have always just bought singles in the past.

I can see a humidor upgrade coming in the future.

warren, welcome to the slippery slope.

[Guest rob]

I slipped on that same slope... and my wallet has been herniated ever since.

[Warren]

I just fired one up today. Fanfriggintastic , I'll have to keep a stock of these.

[CigarmanTim]

"for god's sake you're a drunk." lol about spit out my coffee out on that one.... good review.

[Boston Mike]

Great review guys! With 6 years on a BCE they are INSANE!

[gwags]

Dammitt! Every time I watch these reviews I end up spitting my drink either on the keyboard or the screen!! Keep it up gents, love feeling almost as I was sitting there with you.

[FireDigger]

Thanks for the review guys! This is one of the few current production cigars I have not tried, but will be at the top of the list.

[RLinNH]

Sorry about the delay but what are you going to do?

Thanks for the review!!! One of my Favorites as I have one Cab frm 05 partially Smoked, and 2 more Cabs that are Sleeping. A Classic Cigar IMHO.

[cigaraholic]

I was jonesing for a Bolivar so I opened a box TEB OCT07, finally made a match. What a great cigar, opened with loads of coffee, chocolate and roasted nuts and just keep getting more and more powerful. I had moved 4 to a desktop and after I smoked the second I put the other two back in the box, monsters that need more time. I agree with Ken, 4 or 5 years will really smooth out these beauties. Then I realized I have another box, life is good.

[bassman]

I'm smoking SEP 02s while waiting on my 07s. The 02s are smooth, earthy & very strong.
