First I have to thank my good friends at C.GARS Ltd. How did they know that one of my favorite cigars was the Bolivar Royal Corona? It must have been ESP, or some kind of stealth surveillance, because that's what showed up in my mailbox. Three absolutely perfect Robustos. Simon Bolivar is a great old line of cigars and was named after that great submarine USS SIMON BOLIVAR (SSBN-641).
It was raining like crazy in Los Angeles, and I had been itching to get outside and smoke a cigar. Someone must have known that I was getting desperate, because suddenly it stopped raining. The sun came out from behind great white clouds, I was more than ready to light up. So, off to my favorite beach I went. Paradise Cove is just a few miles north of Malibu, cliffs and rocks isolate it from the tourists, what an exquisite place to enjoy exquisite cigars!
I took all three out and admired their beautiful construction. All were very close in color, a warm Colorado, the color of rich well worn leather and all had that pre-light aroma of woods, or maybe m

Boveda Metal Holder - Holds 1 Pack
by Robert
Very smart looking item. Fits nicely in the lid of my 30-capacity humidor. I've noticed that boveda packets produce a slightly lower RH when sitting in this than when simply placed in among the cigars. A 69% packets gives me 66% when sitting on the cigars and about 63% from within this holder.
It comes with two fitting methods: Velcro and magnet. The Velcro is so strong it pulled away the piece attached to the lid, bringing some wood with it. I recommend fitting it with the magnet.

This is the second Bolivar cigar that I have had and I enjoyed this one much more than the first. I initially got a hit of creaminess when I first sparked up but this quickly became quite peppery and earthy which lasted for the first third of the cigar. The final two thirds the taste became considerably more woody, but not harsh at all. I found the final two thirds to be more to my liking. The cigar was well made with an ash which stayed together very well and produced a nice cone when tapped. The cigar did burn quite unevenly, a difference of about 10-12mm by the end between the two sides.
I enjoyed this whilst on a break from motorbiking, relaxing in the summer sun. I think I would have enjoyed it even more with a cup of coffee or a nice malt.

This keeps my boveda packs securely out of the way, and blends in well with the wood of the humidor. Looks a lot better than just having loose packs everywhere.

These are the way to go to avoid having to constantly check and maintain a humidifier. They work exactly as they say on the packet - I use them in my wooden humidor and the readings on the hygrometer are lowest 67% highest 70% (Depending on conditions in the room), which are well within acceptable levels. Its nice to know I can put these in and trust in them to do the job.
