Hello FOH, I decided to smoke a BBF for this review ive been overlooking these for the past few months as I have been a bit intimidated by their strength and have been erring on the side of light to medium bodied cigars. This particular BBF was MUR Feb 2013. Appearance, Draw and Pre light: Lovely chocolate brown wrapper with a real oily sheen to it. The cigar was firm when rolled between the fingers and the head was bunched beautifully. The draw was firm but not tight. Earthy flavours on the prelight draw along with some spice (nutmeg, maybe a little pepper) First Third: Surprisingly just below medium bodied. Flavours of dark Turkish coffee, nutmeg and damp earth dominate, along with something i can only describe as a metallic taste (not in a bad way). Also getting hints of leather and pepper on the retrohale. Second Third: The spices back down and give way to more leathery, earthy flavours, body has picked up drastically and now is more medium full. There is a long lasting palate and thick luscious plumes of white smoke which leaves an after taste of bitter chocolate and dark coffee on the palate. Final Third: Very dark rich flavours, had to recut a sliver or two as the draw started to tighten up. The burn however is razor sharp and combustion has been spot on. the ash is mostly whitish grey with lovely magic flavour balls on it ( my research leads me to believe its due to mg in the soil when the tobacco was grown, could be wrong though.) Flavour wise everything just amps up in a crescendo of dark decadent flavours. Its definitely smoking full now and i can feel it in my head. Conclusion: I need to start reaching for these more often, but they are definitly going to be a post dinner staple only on the weekends. For me it was a solid 91 point cigar! Hope you enjoyed the review as much as i did the cigar! Cheers and have a great weekend!

Hello everyone, I just wanted to give my personal review of the Bolivar Belicosos Finos. I just received these babies a couple days ago and they have been sitting in their personal humidor since these cigars have a strong smell I keep them away from other cigars. The first part of the review is the overall construction. it may be hard to view from this Camera photo (sorry HD pic is too large for a better quality) but the construction is just magnificent and the aroma lifted me off my feet and sent me towards the Humidor. the smell of Cedar surrounded the Cigar. As everyone knows lighting is the first step of smoking any cigar, but with this cigar during the lighting process the flavor was already beginning with a Mild spice at the foot with flavorful coffee this continued during the first third of the cigar. in the entrance of the second third of the cigar coffee remained but the mild spice became more full and became a medium to full bodied spice flavor as sweet notes of chocolate began to enter this cigar. The beautiful ash stayed perfectly attached to this cigar without interfering with the draw or the combustion of this well made habanos. during the end of the second third and entry to the finale the ash finally decided to fall down but none the less the beautiful taste of Full spice finally overpowered the flavor of the cigar, but in the last draw before I let it rest in piece in an ash tray I tasted a smooth flavor of Coffee, Chocolate, and mild spice yet again. it was a perfect end of this wonderful cigar. Thank you for reading this review.
