Bolivar Royal Corona. I have to admit I just don’t get Bolivar. Everyone says they are rich but I get very little but a bit of wood and vanilla. Many swear by these but I don’t get it at all. Whole lot of nothing. 73.

I also have little time for the BRC, but I love Bolivar. Have you had any BBF's?  Libertadors? Tubos 1/3, coronas junior?

I have found the BRC to be the weakest in the line.

Have had the BBF. For what it’s worth. Here’s my review: 
 

Bolivar Belicosos Fino. V good construction, draw a bit tight. Bolivars have this flaky ash but look how it holds! No-nonsense “manly” Cuban, leather, cocoa, savoury spicy. Rich plumes of aromatic smoke. Lacks that “deep salt” I look for. Samey. Not for beginners. 87.

2020 opus perfecxtion no.5

[Jerryvonkramer]

H. Upmann Magnum 54. Shortbread with a slight lemon zest throughout slight white pepper on retrohale. Very pleasant but lacking real development when compared to the Connie A. 89.

Montecristo Especial No 2. Lighter than the No 1 and less coffee than typical Monty profile. Slight chocolate but the dominant note I got was coconut almost like a Bounty. I like the vitola but worth paying extra for the No 1 in my view. 87.

Good evening with Fonseca no.1...

Punch SS No 2.  RSE JUN 01.

[HoyoFan]

Aladino Maduro. Fantastic stick!

This is a Topes from 2019. I found the Topes to be the least flavorful of the 3 new Trinidads at the time, and I was thinking I would eventually sell this box.  I don't know who I was trying to fool because I never sell cigars.  Too much of a bother.  So I figured with 4 years on this box, maybe it turned into something else.  It didn't.  Not that I don't like it. I do, it's just that the Esmeraldas and Media Lunas are both superior.  I think maybe the width of the cigar makes it burn too hot for the blend.

In my opinion, these need time (5+ years) to realize their potential (and added years simply add to their wonderful potential for delicious complexity).  To each his own; just wanted to offer that for possible future enjoyment.

If I ever see a box for a reasonable price maybe but what do they have over the No 1? 

[Glass Half Full]

A wonderful intensity IMO.  Both can have 3 thirds, but the well crafted skinny brings an added dimension to my taste, though it can take some years and I typically keep them at 62% (but it’s all personal preference). 
For what it’s worth
