My first Esmerelda from December 19. Cigar was a treat. The Gonzaga game was a blowout. Men among boys, with a 1 v 3 matchup.

Great show, gets a little slow in late season 3, early season 4, stick with it and power through you’ll be rewarded.

Very nice day! Early Christmas present from my significant other. She hates the cigar smoking but puts up with it. We ran across a new old stock St Dupont and she pulled the trigger. Early Christmas indeed. Broke it in on a Lusitania. Let the Holiday break begin.

About three years ago I bought 3 10 count boxes of BUP SEP 17 Lusi’s in Havana. The first two boxes were a bit hit and miss but the first out of this third box was great. Here’s hoping the other 9 are just as good.

Partagas D4 from our host, the ones that sold in half a box a month or two ago...the most amazing partagas D4 I’ve ever had...even though I’m smoking it at 8:30 after a light breakfast ?

ULA Jul 15...sublime. 

Today was a good day, I turned this...

...into this

Let the seasoning begin!

So, I got a box of BBFs earlier this year from Jul19.  I first opened and looked at them and said....crap, those are the lightest dullest looking BFFs I’ve ever seen.  Picture doesn’t even show it properly, pretty much Claro wrappers.  While I might like that in a Monte or Cohiba, it’s never been my preference in Boli.  Tonight I figured I’d fire one up.

Initial Impressions after Light:  construction doesn’t look pretty but it’s flawless, perfect draw, no hard spots, but not much flavor to note.

First Third:  creamy, and a bit floral...some notes of forest floor.  Honestly not incredibly interesting and what I feared.  Mild is an understatement.

Second Third:  Well now this is interesting....very creamy, now there’s loads of hay, still hints of floral, any forest is replaced by a light bodied coffee, and the finish is a blast of sugar cane sweetness.  Like a cup of coffee with cream and a couple teaspoons of sugar.  Nothing resembling Bolivar here, if you blindfolded me I’d have guessed a Trinidad, and yes that’s a good thing.  Just under medium still.

Final Third:  honestly where the hell was this rolled?  This is not a Bolivar.  If I’m craving a BBF this is not what I’d reach for, but crazy, this is wonderful.  Reviewing for what it is versus what I’m expecting or wanting, it’s a terrific smoke.  So creamy, mild coffee, loads of hay still, touch of floral, and a strong sugary sweetness, not honey, and not dark sugar or molasses.  Still just under medium.  Construction and burn are near perfect, one touch up required.  What’s this sound like to you?  
 

Final Thoughts:  I could smoke these daily, put a brand new band on it and I’m sure this marca would gain a following.  If the whole thing were like the final 2/3 it’d be a 94 point cigar to me, so I’ll give it a 92/93.  
 

A very nice surprise but will definitely make notes that this basically isn’t a Bolivar.

[NicPac]

Crazy. I had a similar experience with this BBF tonight @mprach024  Not what I expect from a BBF but super enjoyable nonetheless.

A very good venison lunch with a great 2015 Ribera de Duero red followed by an excellent CR Papo Lancero with a Edmundo Dantes 15 yr old rum.
