Bolivar Corona Junior - TUA ENE 21 (OYMRW)

[justince]

Fresh box, so decided to sample one a little bit early. As with my Reyes review earlier, I had a little boat outing with some friends yesterday & I decided to take two smaller sticks to space out my smoke time rather than one larger on to have all at once. I actually prefer doing this when I can; it's nice to space out your smokes. I generally don't enjoy larger vitolas as much as others outside of rare occasion. I prefer to smoke for 30-45 minutes at a time. I shared this one, so it smoked a bit quicker (probably closer to 30 min). Nothing like a warm, summer day on a boat with good company ( see some obligatory boat pics). For this stick, we had the boat beached towards the end of the day on a small little island. Felt like paradise.

Upon first light, I'm greeting with a good draw, but not the best smoke output. Very earthy taste with a lot of spice going towards the finish. Medium to full bodied. Normal smoke texture, not too strong either. I wouldn't call it harsh, but let's just say it's showing it's youth. Towards the 2nd half that earthiness started to shift into a bready & woody note, which I quite liked. Spice stayed throughout the same. That youthfulness taste actually diminished as well, as well as the smoke output started to get better. I nubbed this sucker to the very end.

I'd give the first half a 8/10, 2nd half a 8.75/10. Very interested to see how well these age.

Nice review and looks like a great day. Good to hear the 21's smoking well young. Have a 21 box will dig into when 19s are gone.

Great rreview. Great day!

The BCJ is one of the most underated cigars out there. Good to see them smoking well young but with plenty of upside
