We were married in Feb 1967 (47yrs ago) at the wedding reception we give out Bolivar No2 Tubos for those who wanted a cigar Last year whilst talking to the wife’s old aunt, our weddings day came into the discussion. ‘Lo and behold', she said that her late husband had kept his cigar in his desk and was still there with other memorabilia as he was not really cigar smoker. So without any further conversation she produced the said Boil and gifted it to me The tube cap was tight with a cork/foil inner cap seal which had kept the cigar in near perfect condition. I left it open in the humi for about 5 weeks before smoking. The Boli possibly by then 47-50 years old, once lit produced almost immediately that famous aroma and richness with ton's of smoke which Bolivar was famous for in those days. Although gradually a softer less rounded & dryer taste crept in. I wish I had another one or two to savour. IMHO if only Bolivar would again reproduce that richness of the fifties to late seventies Nevertheless, I'm still a Boli fan
Thats great! A lovely story.

Fantastic! Love the story, man that would be a well aged cigar
Aye, Boli CG's 2007, means they are smoking fine now but will get better. If there too expensive, try the Boli PC x50. To the other extreme, ERDM age like no other lighter brand & a cab of 50 ERDMCS should be still be smokable

That's obviously just coz Moondancer is a jammy git!
Yep, Simon, real jammy,lolThe Boli's were from my farther's stach, I did promise to replace them, but thankfully he said "don't bother, I'd done him a big favour", as even then the early signs of emphysema had set in
