Bolívar Silver Jubilee 2017 - Edición Regional Hong Kong LGR Jun 2019

The Bolivar Silver Jubilee was announced as the 2017 Hong Kong Regional Edition by the Asia Pacific Habanos cigar distributor PCC, along with the Ramon Allones Silver Jubilee, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Pacific Cigar Co Pty Ltd. The cigar first came onto the market a little over a year later in early-2019. It's a gordito-sized 50 ring gauge by 141 mm (or 5½ inches) in length with a tapered head, which is incidentally the same size as the Ramon Allones Hunter and Frankau Aniversario 225.

You may have heard it oft-said that Asia-Pacific Regional cigars require significant rest to blossom, so-to-speak, somewhere in the vicinity of five years. After smoking the Bolivar Silver Jubilee, from this year's Xmas Sampler, and at only eleven months of age, I would venture to say that five years would serve you as a guide on these. In my opinion, a good 36 months would be ideal.

The reasoning for this is in the blend. This cigar was strong on certain flavours such as bitter malt, leather and light on cocoa. It was that combination of Bolivar-like bitter malt and leather which made this cigar a little too intense for me at this point, but the sweet caramel or toffee flavours did keep me interested.

I would envisage that some time down will diminish those stronger Bolivar flavours and promote the sweeter ones. If I had a box I would reach for another one in 12 months to see how they are progressing.

2010 SW. There maybe a point in the future where I just smoke Winnies. I’ll change it up by smoking different vintages for “variety”. Perfect cigar.

Hoze, how come the Presidente isn't frosty today?!

NC clean out day. A Fuente Rosado Gran Reserva. This one shows my old habits of big cigars. Probably sat around for 5 years plus. Was actually a pretty pleasant smoke.

The Roado line is a top NC for me.  Very consistent and at a great price.

SLR Tesoros.

Meh, it was ok. Good construction/burn until final third. Minimal flavors. Dry roasted nuts, slight graham cracker. Pasta w/ olive oil. Got hot and peppery toward the end.

@El Hoze Smoking this as we speak. BUP JUL-17 Siglo III. The beer is nowhere near as cold though.

There was a much smaller size I used to enjoy quite a bit. Maybe a 4.5x46 or so? This one was good but I think it was a bit too aged. Super smooth and creamy, but nothing jumping out. I’ll probably grab some more in a smaller vitola

Definitely dropped the ball on that! I’ll follow up shortly with a Friday frosty! It’s about that time!

Bolivar Royal Corona ETP MAR 16

 

[CampDelta369]

It appears to be a Boli day @Shatner's Bassoon , this one was quite light filled so I smoked it slow like molasses in winter. Great BRC flavors.

 

[RDB]

Esplendido TPO ABR 18. These are pretty serious: medium-full bodied, rich with predominantly coffee and tropical wood flavours at the moment. Plenty of complexity for sure. Still a little moist and the last quarter a touch bitter. Think they will evolve into something special, but I won’t try the next one for another year.

Smoked in the sun, a safe distance from my mum!

It’s probably my go to cigar: whenever I’m not quite sure what to smoke I find myself choosing a Royal Corona. Never lets me down!

Your frosted Presidentes are killing me. What’s better than that?

Yesterday evening, went to 2006 Siglo-town.

This morning enjoyed a 2015 Monte 3 with coffee while watching the AlphaGo documentary (link, recommended).
