Cohiba Mini Cigarillos - Classic - 1 x Pack of 10
by ArchivedCgarsReviews
I bought one packet each of the Cohiba Minis, the Romeo y Julieta Minis and the Cohiba Clubs. The Cohiba Minis and the Romeo y Julieta Minis are exactly the same size, the Cohiba Clubs are somewhat larger - length about 3.25" vs 3.75" and diameter about 7mm vs 8.5mm - so that I would estimate (using the formula for a tube pi x r2 x l) the Clubs are about 70% larger than the Minis in the end. In terms of smoking time, for myself, I find the Minis last maybe 10 minutes at the outside and the Clubs last 15-20 minutes at the outside.
The Minis are probably too small. It is difficult to get a mouthful of flavour from them. The Clubs are better in this respect. Neither can compare to a proper sized cigar.
Oddly, being somewhat more impressed with Cohibas for flavour generally, I found the Romeo y Julieta Minis had a more rounded and fuller flavour than that of the Cohiba Minis or even, it seems to me, the Cohiba Clubs, even though the Clubs are larger which makes it easier to draw more flavour from them.
Of all of them I would suppose the Cohiba Clubs are the best, however if Romeo y Ju

Bolivar Tubos No. 2 Cigar - 1 Single

Excellent stuff. ;-)))) Having been scared once by a Number 3 Tubo - the nicotinal equivalent of Hiroshima - I approached the idea of smoking ANOTHER Bolivar with trepidation (to say the least) - but the bigger cousin to the Number 3 is a real pussycat. ;-)) My advice to newbies (for what it`s worth) is that the Number 2 is a NOT a stick of dynamite and can be smoked to the last inch (cheapskate) without friction burns appearing on your lungs. ;-)))) As Mo says above, "I`m no fan of tubed cigars, but the Boli 2 is a very good corona indeed." It`s full bodied, full flavoured and simply drips with Boli spices - a really pleasant and exotic smoke.You certainly know you`ve had one - it`s not a cigar for the first timer, perhaps - but !!!! - well, with so many characterless cigars on the market, this certainly has a personality all of it`s own and you`ll certainly remember smoking it. ;-)) Recommended - and- as far as tubos go - HIGHLY recommended. Five out of five, no two doubts - light up one of these, pour y`self an espresso and - a good time`ll be had by all. Thumbs up. ;-))))

this is a favourite of mine. There are plenty of times when you are out eating a nice lunch and you want a good Havana cigar with flavour and strength but dont have loads of time on your hands. These are perfect half hour cigars full of dusty, earthy flavours with hints of coffee bean and cocoa. Construction is not perfect with a lumpy and uneven wrapper but they burn even and draw well producing mouthfulls of rich Bolivar smoke.

Nice dark wrapper, even burn, *lots* of smoke, and great smooth flavour. Smoked this one til it burned my fingers. Mmmm......

Bought some of these on a visit to C.Gars a couple of days before Christmas. I have to say that I am extremely impressed. Ideal short smoke with many of the benifits that their bigger brothers exhibit.

Bolivar Royal Corona Cigar - Box of 25

Well, I must agree with the editors of Cigar Aficionado magazine (Feb. 2007 issue). This was named THE Cigar of the year for 2006. My box arrived in impeccable condition a scant 24 hours after ordering it from MO.
POS factory, date code Sept. '06.
Pre-smoke inspection revealed a solid, box-pressed shape with perfect uniform construction, size and shape on every single stick. A Slight oiliness on the wrapper.
The smoke lit and burned evenly throughout with a light grey ash.
The draw was absolutely perfect throughout (I prefer a bullet punch on Robustos).
The flavor was strong and powerful, but young, with a strong finish on the palate. A very potent punch midway through as the spiciness really came through. Not a smoke for the faint-hearted, nor would I recommend it on an empty stomach or as a morning smoke. Flavor was complex and spicy with more complex notes towards the middle. I would say overall an EXCELLENT vitola with complex flavor. Again I agree with the editors at CA that these do need to sit and mellow for a few years. I can tell though, that in 3-5 years, these wil
