Bolivar Coronas Junior : ULA Sep 14 : Bolivar Review Comp 2016

[Jimmy_jack]

Bolivar Coronas Junior...a great little stick. This is actually the first box I purchased from our host during a 24. Luck would have it that it's a ULA Sep 14 so she's got some time on her. These were a clearance selection but look beautiful. 

Its a short smoke so I won't break it into segments. Here are my thoughts about today's smoke.

It opens immediately with little to no foreplay. She's a medium to full smoke in the start and half way through settles at a medium + . Coffee, tobacco and some cedar for the flavors.

This box has been very smokeable with all cigars having what I call a draw with a tug. Just a slight but acceptable amount of resistance. They benefit from a slow paced smoke. They have a nice box pressed appearance but not hard pressed. 

If you've not had these do yourself a favor and get some. I will always have a box on hand. I give them a solid 90 as an everyday, reach blindly in the box smoke.

Very nice review Jimmy_jack, I'm a huge fan of the BCJ.  Love the pics of the art btw.

Ithabk you:) 'm a big fan of the graphics on CC boxing. In particular the La Escepcion...very understated and clean.

Nice review and pics.  One of my go to smokes when there isn't much time to invest.  Gives you everything I want from a cigar for the most part.  Price point is great as well so you can smoke one box and age one.

Great review. ..I've found that dry boxing these ula14 for a day prior to firing one up will open them up significantly.

Yeah, I go back and forth. I agree they can benefit from it.

Nice review. That's exactly how I feel about the BPC which usually lasts 50-60 minutes for me.

whats the difference between the BPC and BCJ?   size wise and flavour

I'm not 100% but I think length only. Maybe a small amount of ring gauge...but mostly length.

The difference is about 3/4 inch, same ring gauge (42). The BPC is a maravas while the BCJ is a perla.  For me no difference at all, but usually vary about $15-20 with the BPC higher.

About 10 min and you'll still want more.

Nice review. I'm with you guys re: the artwork. Bolivar might be my favorite. I love the bands, with the stately portrait of Simon with the yellow background. It's timeless and classy.
