An excellent cigar. Plenty of power but I would suggest accessible to all but the faintest heart. My last one had an erratic burn which was hopefully a one off but it didn't spoil the enjoyment of this top quality cigar. I pick up something vaguely perfumy but in a good tobacco way. I would buy a box for the humidor. Recommended!

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.

These are absolutely marvellous. A really pleasant long smoke. I love the square shape which is surprisingly easy to hold. They burn really well and have a great draw. I love the retro 70s looking packaging and paper wrappers. Really nice earthy taste and great chunky size - bigger than expected. If slightly cheaper they would be my regular daily smokes.

Pretty much perfect little 40 minutes of enjoyment. Nice strength, no bitterness, enough complexity to make it a grown ups cigar. This is definitely going on my favourites list from now on in. Would thoroughly recommend.

An Interesting Cigar, unique in being handmade and Flavoured. A small cigar but it would be a mistake to think this cigar a short everyday smoke, I took a good 45 minutes as I had been advised this would really let the flavours of the cigar express themselves.
It is sound advice, this cigar has a very strong coffee taste on the inhale that is then muted by a wonderful subtle vanilla sweetness on the exhale that coats your lips (not in a chemical way). It is best described as a Vanilla latte really nice smoke.
That being said if this cigar was rushed then that coffee earthy taste would overpower and become very harsh spoiling what is a very nice cigar that is also on the stronger side of a medium tasting cigar which was also a surprise.
As you get to the second half (not big enough for thirds) the earthy coffee inhale develops a very subtle peppery kick changing the taste to a spiced vanilla latte again a very nice surprise given that most flavoured cigars tend to be nasty, I do wonder if this cigar is infused rather than flavoured as that would account for the much better ta

I enjoyed the first third but had to fight with some harsh bitterness from there on in. Struggled a bit with uneven burn in the middle. As a result I've got to give this cigar a 3 star rating. However you do have to factor in the price in order to be fair. I would suggest you try one of these just in case you like them as they are by no means a poor example. Let's face it , if you try and like them then you have found a fantastic value for money item. It's up to you, got to be worth a stab at one or two to see.
