Bolívar Belicosos Finos MSU May 2019

The Bolivar Belicosos Finos comes from a marca I don't readily identify with as a Habanos cigar enthusiast, yet from time-to-time I continue to challenge my preferences (and biases) by smoking one. This Bolivar Belicosos Finos was included in the 2019 Xmas Sampler and it was the second cigar I had from that 12-pack sampler.

Your average Piramide (also known colloquially as a Torpedo) is 52 ring gauge x 156 mm (or 6⅛ inches) in length, the BBF is a Campanas and so is slightly smaller at 52 ring gauge x 140 mm (or 5½ inches) in length. I've found them quite reliable in construction and flavour delivery over the years, on the odd occasion I have one. This one continued that fine tradition!

Unlike recent BBFs I've enjoyed, this did not have a gorgeous soft cocoa and marshmallow texture to it from the 'get-go'. Rather, it had a bitter malt, nutmeg and slight cream with a build up in earth and leather flavours in the back half, which made for a wonderfully complex and ideal choice for a change from my usual 'go-to' cigars.

Curiosity abounds... do you sip while the cigar is in the nook or do you have to remove the cigar while drinking?  I kinda want one, but I'm not sure how you're supposed to use it  ?

Spiced cream is how I can best describe it.

I've been getting 'cinnamon butter' (the kind you get at a Texas steakhouse) with more recent 898s.  Not exactly 'spiced cream', but in the same ballpark

Any idea at all how old those are? I got one from the Kenfession Comp too. Was wondering if I should smoke it or let it snooze. How was it?

Lusi from Kenfession comp is still young, so it's quite edgy. However, it's not aggressive either and you're good to go if you rest it at least 60-90 days like me! ?

Both of these 2019 24:24 offerings smoked excellent. Crackers all the way. Glad I went a bit deep. Need more of 24.

I really like it. This 92 petite champagne is quite a bit cheaper than many of the Grosperrin bottlings, but like them it avoids the clumsy oaking that a lot of this kind of cognac (and other independent spirits actually) suffers from. Floral sweetness, delicate rather than rich, fine and mature but no real rancio.

And, if "in the nook" is the answer, would you sip from a safe side or the danger side?  ??

2013 or 14 PL panetela, in the newly repurposed 'Frontier Fabulous' cargo trailer lounge. In honor of the 5,000 mile geographical shift, I'm redubbing her the 'Hampshire Hotbox'. Seclusion and self isolation make good bedfellows. Brushing up on my lumberjacking skills while I'm enjoying this phenomenal stick. Thanks to @awkwardPause for the smoke, and shout out to @akpreacher from the other end of the continent - i made it!
