These were a few notes I posted some years back, on a box of 02's. I think I also had a box of 03's but don't have any notes on those. 

Review #68: APR 02 Great cigar same box I reviewed from 2 years back. Shared with a fellow habanos brother these still have all the fullness and Bolivar depth I love. We both commented how you would often expect a larger ring cigar to be milder, bit not the case with these. - Submitted by randallp on June 8, 2009

I don't care to smoke BCG until they have some time down (min 5 years) I have always found them full and great depth of flavors, which as mention by miamipadronsmoker

most times I find sweetness, cream and for myself the distinct earthiness I associate with Bolivar. I have on occasion had hints of anise which I would sometimes find in the Inmensas.

I have an unopened box ESO Feb 14, I'll try one in the coming days and post some thoughts, (probably be a brute at this age though)

Tried one from the ESO Feb 2014 box and it was excellent, but young. Medium to full bodied, balanced and although no roughness these will IMHO be better smoked in a couple of more years. Balanced flavors of earthiness, cedar and sweet undertones through out, what i love about Bolivar. I look very much forward to this box a little more down the road.
