Bolivar Coronas J Cigar - 1 Single
by Patrick
Good burn, good draw but very bland. The smaller Tubos #3 has more flavour. I found this one to be mild and tasteless to my palate. This would probably suit someone new to cigars where they are able to notice it more and wont be an assault on their senses, maybe?

This is a beautiful looking cigar with a soft silky wrapper. Unfortunately I had major issues in the 1/3rd with the cigar not drawing properly causing minimal smoke output. This resulted in laboured puffing and a worry that it would last throughout. Tastewise it started very mild with a creamy flavour. But again, it was hard to discern the flavours simply because I wasnt getting enough intake.
Now this cigar really opened up in the the 2/3rd. The draw improved resulting in beautiful woody, grassy notes with hints of chocolate.
Towards the final third I got all of the above with subtle coffee notes with slight peppering.
Apart from the beginning I thourougly enjoyed this cigar. A sumptuous 50 minute smoke with a medium strength.
I would have easily given this 5 stars of not for that troubled beginning.
I will definately be buying more.

This cigar is quite interesting. It has a number of benefits -
1. Its dry cured so it doesnt need a humidor, though like any dry cured cigar it tastes a bit better IMO after proper humidification.
2. Its pre-cut so it can be smoked anywhere at any time.
3. Its quite a decent ring gauge and length - just shy of a petit corona. It certainly feels like a real cigar rather than a cigarillo like a half corona from Henri Wintermans.
4. It burns well and lights very easily - never had an issue with it burning in strange ways.
5. It comes in a tube despite being sold for less than a fiver, whereas its Cuban competitor Guantanamera is a good few pounds more for a tubos. The tube means it can be stored and protected anywhere.
The main con -
It tastes like a Henri Winterman i.e. relatively cheap, Dutch tobacco. I happen to like the flavour so its not a con for me, but if you like the flavour of Cuban or Nicaraguan tobacco and just cant stand the Dutch mix of Brazilian and Indonesian leaf it wont be for you.
I think this is excellent value for a cigar and it is very useful for

Must be the second or third time Ive ordered a single one of these. Next time it will be a box. No where near the same sweet tip as the Atom but lovely rich flavours and smooth smoke. Perfect construction and razor sharp burn all the way down leaving solid grey ash. Cool to the nub and a long lasting taste on the palette.
Fabulous.

A number of bad choices led to my kitchen smelling of this vile tobacco product, whilst the construction was good, and lighting a dream, the stench of this full aromatic experience is not one I wish to partake in again! Unfortunately I can still smell the unholy stick hours later; both in the kitchen and on my precious little pinkys!
I cannot recommend this smoke to anybody, unless you know you like them, steer clear.
However this is no reflection on cgars as service was impeccable.

An absolute belter! What a smoke, had a good 2 hours steady smoking time. Beautiful oily wrapper, excellent construction, draw easy enough, nice even burn all the way down with a good solid ash. Huge flavour, deep and powerful first half then turning more mellow and creamy in the second half. Youd pay much more for a Cuban of a similar ilk.....its totally worth it.
