Popular Post Jerryvonkramer Posted July 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2023 Oliva Serie V Robusto. Pretty much done with NCs at this point. This whole Oliva series is so bland. I don’t like the elephant-skin like Ecuadorian wrappers and the Nicaraguan filler is just one note and that note is “tobacco”. Meh. 70. Bolivar Royal Corona. I have to admit I just don’t get Bolivar. Everyone says they are rich but I get very little but a bit of wood and vanilla. Many swear by these but I don’t get it at all. Whole lot of nothing. 73. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Glass Half Full Posted July 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2023 Enjoyed my first of the 2023 Nudie Cañanazos on Sunday. Wonderful flavors, construction and some transitions, though I agree with the consensus that more time may well bring greatness. To see what the future might bring, I lit another cañanazo with a little more age last evening. Identical feel in the hand and lovely strength and flavors ...though an entirely different taste profile, of course. Excellent cigar though IMO. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have little time for the BRC, but I love Bolivar. Have you had any BBF's? Libertadors? Tubos 1/3, coronas junior? I have found the BRC to be the weakest in the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolivars have this flaky ash but look how it holds! No-nonsense “manly” Cuban, leather, cocoa, savoury spicy. Rich plumes of aromatic smoke. Lacks that “deep salt” I look for. Samey. Not for beginners. 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jerryvonkramer Posted July 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2023 H. Upmann Magnum 54. Shortbread with a slight lemon zest throughout slight white pepper on retrohale. Very pleasant but lacking real development when compared to the Connie A. 89. Montecristo Especial No 2. Lighter than the No 1 and less coffee than typical Monty profile. Slight chocolate but the dominant note I got was coconut almost like a Bounty. I like the vitola but worth paying extra for the No 1 in my view. 87. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SigmundChurchill Posted July 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2023 This is a Topes from 2019. I found the Topes to be the least flavorful of the 3 new Trinidads at the time, and I was thinking I would eventually sell this box. I don't know who I was trying to fool because I never sell cigars. Too much of a bother. So I figured with 4 years on this box, maybe it turned into something else. It didn't. Not that I don't like it. I do, it's just that the Esmeraldas and Media Lunas are both superior. I think maybe the width of the cigar makes it burn too hot for the blend. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, these need time (5+ years) to realize their potential (and added years simply add to their wonderful potential for delicious complexity). To each his own; just wanted to offer that for possible future enjoyment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass Half Full Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 A wonderful intensity IMO. Both can have 3 thirds, but the well crafted skinny brings an added dimension to my taste, though it can take some years and I typically keep them at 62% (but it’s all personal preference).
