Bolivar Belicosos Finos Cigar - Box of 25
by Archived
Recently got one of these in a big box of singles I treated myself to. The wrapper looked great and the smell was fantastic. On cutting I tried a practise draw and thought all was well. When lit, however, the cigar seemed to offer no draw resistance whatsoever. Take a bundle of straws, and try to breathe through them - youll see what I mean. What flavour there was available, was excellent though. Bolivar are certainly one of my favourite makers, but this was a severe disappointment. I would try another to see if this was a rogue. Shame really....

Nice tasting tobacco with a lovely cherry flavour and aroma. A light, nice smoke.

On opening the sample, your senses are immediately inundated by the aromatic aroma of plums, which gives you a good guide of treats to come. The tobacco is in coarse cut form, and the mix of the different tobacco leaf of black Cavendish---burley & Virginia looks very attractive, and in my sample had just the right moisture content. I found that it helps if you choose the correct size pipe, for using a small bowl makes the blend smoking experience slightly sharp on first lighting, so use a larger bowl to allow the blend to burn better, giving a smoother smoking experience. Try also moving between a briar pipe and a meerschaum, as the meerschaum adds a little extra to the overall experience, as a briar burns hotter with this blend. A cooler smoke allows the tobacco blenders art to come to its true fruition.
Using a meerschaum for my sampling, I found the following;
Strength; Mild to Medium.
Burning; Slow and cool.
Taste; A very pleasant plum like taste, with overtones hints from the mix of black Cavendish and Burley, of spicy nuts.

Appearance; A close cut flake, very easy to break down in the hand resulting in a nice flake, easy to place in the pipe. Aroma; [before smoking] = pleasantly nutty. Smoking is as folows; A very deep and extremely pleasant taste from the mature Burley tobacco, with a hint of nuts, sweet after tastes and a hint of faint background spice. Cool and slow burning, if correctly packed into a briar pipe. [Note; if packed too tight, it will not burn smoothly, resulting in clinkers, however, if packed correctly, will burn to a white ash] Strength; Medium to strong [dependant on the experience of the smoker] Overall impression; An excellent Pipe Tobacco showing the best of the tobacco blenders art. Recommended for experienced Pipe Smokers only.

An aromatic mixture of dark Kentucky and Burly Tobacco with flavours of Cherry and a hint of vanilla. The aroma is welcoming with a powerful scent but delicate and sweet, pleasant to smoke with plenty of enjoyment. Medium bodied in taste and flavouring. Ideal for those that seek a sweet aromatic tobacco. Michael - C.Gars Ltd
