Bolivar Brittanicas

[Tomothebuilder]

Has anyone tried these?

I've got a box sat waiting in the Humi at the moment, what are people's thoughts on ageing and also paring etc?

I'm afraid i'm a little anal in that I'd rather wait till something is "right" before i try it-i guess because there's only 10 in the box but I dunno, as I said, I'm a little sad!

Brittanica's IMHO are quite tasty now & will improve..
Ageing IMHO is the most important part of cigar enjoyment...all CC's are better for having some age on them...
How will you know what's "right" if you don't try one???
As for pairing, are you talking food or drink...anyway that's mostly down to personal taste.

Try one now, if good keep smoking them. If not return in a year.

I agree, there are always plenty more to buy if they hit the spot now!!

If you have 10 I would highly encourage trying one now. It will give you a chance to see how they taste both fresh and with age and you will have a base to know if you want to even consider buying more. These are great sticks that usually improve over time but if you have more then a handful why not enjoy one now? Life is short so sometimes it is just as important to enjoy its fruits while you have the opportunity.

Amen.

Spot on! And as for 'right', if anyone really knew when that was they wouldn't be buying them in advance in a hope that 'right' appears!

I smoked one of these a couple evenings ago and they have improved significantly since their release with better earthy flavors and Bolivar characteristics.
