Bolivar Tubos No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single
by Richard
The Bolívar No.2 Tubos was a cigar I approached with a mix of excitement and caution, since the brand has a reputation for being fuller-bodied and more intense than some of the Cubans I’ve tried so far. Opening the tubo, I was greeted with that distinct Cuban aroma—earthy, woody, and a little sweet. The construction was excellent, with a solid feel and no soft spots. On the cold draw, I picked up subtle notes of hay and cedar, with just a hint of spice.
Once lit, the cigar wasted no time in showing character. The first third delivered rich, earthy flavors, backed by a peppery spice that tingled on the tongue. It wasn’t overpowering, but it definitely had more bite than, say, a Romeo y Julieta No.2. The smoke was thick and aromatic, with hints of leather and roasted coffee coming through as it developed. The draw was smooth, and the burn stayed mostly even throughout, needing only a small correction near the middle.
By the halfway point, the cigar settled into a satisfying balance of wood, cocoa, and spice, with a touch of sweetness keeping things interesting. Toward the final t

The Backwoods Authentic (Light Brown) Cigars - Pack of 5 are a cracking little pack to keep on hand. Each cigar lasts me around 20 - 25 minutes, and they’ve got that trademark sweet, aromatic flavour that makes them stand out. They’re not something I’d smoke every day, but as an occasional treat they really hit the spot.
For the price, they’re excellent value, and I always make sure I’ve got a pack in. They’re especially good for social nights, mates round for shooting some pool or gaming, and even the non smokers end up enjoying one. They’ve got that easy going, sweet taste that makes them approachable for just about anyone. A casual, fun cigar that’s well worth keeping stocked.

This was a game of three thirds! The first third was smooth and full of flavour, but by the time it moved into the second, it became almost too tight to smoke. This really ate into my enjoyment of the cigar, as I has to try so hard to get a draw and keep it burning by puffing like a steam-engine, which heated the thing up and affected the taste. The blockage then burnt through and normal smoking was resumed, but the flavour had been marred by this point. I'd been looking forward to it as well. There's another one in my humidor, so time will tell if this was a one-off problem.

The Backwoods Authentic cigar is a unique little smoke that really lives up to its name. It’s sweet, aromatic, and gives off a lovely scent that makes it stand out from more traditional cigars. Each one lasts me about 10–15 minutes, so it’s not too long but long enough to relax and enjoy the flavour.
For me, these are better as an occasional treat rather than an everyday choice. The sweetness is very pleasant, but it can be a bit much if you had them too often. Still, when you’re in the mood for something different, maybe a casual get-together or a special moment, they really hit the spot. A very enjoyable, slightly rustic smoke that feels more special than its price suggests.

I had a second humidor with a poor humidification system so purchased the Boveda 6 pack of 72%. They work brilliantly and have kept the humidity at an ideal level for a long time. Each sachet is sealed in its own bag so stays as new until you need to use it. Would definitely recommend.
