Totally plugged, tried everything to rescue it but unsmokeable, what little flavour ( and believe me it was very little) I did get was uninspiring and one dimensional. Very disappointed, will not buy again :-(
After sampler pack I decided to order some of these in preference to my usual Romeo y Julieta No2 / 3 which had lately suffered uneven burn and varied draw characteristics. In contrast these Bolivars have with one exception drawn very well with reasonably even burns. The flavour is a bit bland to my taste, but perfectly acceptable. At the price bearing in mind it's all going to HM Treasury who do so much to make our lives "interesting" they are fair value in my view. They will be always part of my futeure buy list.
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.
This pipe tobacco is mild and smooth, if you haven't tried it I highly recommend it. Slow burning and a great aftertaste. Recommended it with a strong coffee and time for relaxing.
