Popular Post JohnS Posted April 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2020 Bolívar Belicosos Finos MSU May 2019 The Bolivar Belicosos Finos comes from a marca I don't readily identify with as a Habanos cigar enthusiast, yet from time-to-time I continue to challenge my preferences (and biases) by smoking one. This Bolivar Belicosos Finos was included in the 2019 Xmas Sampler and it was the second cigar I had from that 12-pack sampler. Your average Piramide (also known colloquially as a Torpedo) is 52 ring gauge x 156 mm (or 6⅛ inches) in length, the BBF is a Campanas and so is slightly smaller at 52 ring gauge x 140 mm (or 5½ inches) in length. I've found them quite reliable in construction and flavour delivery over the years, on the odd occasion I have one. This one continued that fine tradition! Unlike recent BBFs I've enjoyed, this did not have a gorgeous soft cocoa and marshmallow texture to it from the 'get-go'. Rather, it had a bitter malt, nutmeg and slight cream with a build up in earth and leather flavours in the back half, which made for a wonderfully complex and ideal choice for a change from my usual 'go-to' cigars. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been getting 'cinnamon butter' (the kind you get at a Texas steakhouse) with more recent 898s. Not exactly 'spiced cream', but in the same ballpark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering if I should smoke it or let it snooze. How was it? Lusi from Kenfession comp is still young, so it's quite edgy. However, it's not aggressive either and you're good to go if you rest it at least 60-90 days like me! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 92 petite champagne is quite a bit cheaper than many of the Grosperrin bottlings, but like them it avoids the clumsy oaking that a lot of this kind of cognac (and other independent spirits actually) suffers from. Floral sweetness, delicate rather than rich, fine and mature but no real rancio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
