Bolivar Petit Belicoso 2009 Limited Edition
Origin : Cuba Format : Petit Belicoso Size : 124 x 21 mm (4.9 x 52) Ring : 52 Construction : Hand-Made
My camera is currently broken, so I have included these from google.
The wrapper, dark to medium chocolate, with some veining.
Salty on the lips, it has a distinct taste of black pepper.
The pre-draw is open and very spicy.
It is one of the best smelling unlight cigars I have had in a while, it smells so inviting!!
Upon the prelight toasting, that welcoming smell is even clearer, it really did smell amazing!!
The draw was literaly perfect, I couldnt fault it. Not too tight, not too loose, just nice and easy.... yummy..
The amount of smoke this cigar produced was also top notch, loads of nice creamy clouds.
To start the cigar is a mix of powerful wood and some strong herbs and spice, mostly spices. It has some complexity but not much, prodomantly just strong clear flavour.
As it smokes it evolves into a more earthier experience, with some very subtle soft chocolate notes, with the herbs and spices still at the front of the show. Personaly these flavours are not my favour, but if you like this sort of thing then I would highly recommend it, as its clearly a great cigar.
Through out The burn was perfect, I have read that others have had some issues but I certrainly didnt experience any.
Bolivar cigars are generally quite powerful. However it suprised me some what, it was nearer medium stength than full, clear full bodied flavours but not full strength overall, if that makes sense?
I would say it has great ageing potential, and it would be interesting to see whether over time it became more full on or wether it mellowed more...
Thanks again for the swap Martin!!
The scores below would be higher, but just due to personal preference it was very nice but not entierly my cup of tea flavour wise, but clearly a quality cigar all the same!
