Bolivar Super Corona 2014 LE

[PeeJay]

So is the super corona a 48 or 49 has to be one or the other surely.

Our sponsor describes it as a 49

Sorted then.

Even if they were... They're a good 30-50% more expensive than the Bolivar Belicoso Finos which are larger and much, much better.

I know the belicoso is a bigger cigar what do you like about it, is it more complex than the petite belicoso in your opinion.
Reason for this question is a few members found the belicoso fino a bit bland haven't smoked one myself so can't comment on it.

I think I just got a dud one when I said it was bland

Smoked the Super Coronas last weekend. At this point, not worth smoking another one for a good while. Smoked liked a New World Maduro. Lot of sweet flavours with some espresso notes. Hopefully these will develop with a little age.

Information that comes with the Boli states it as a 48 ring gauge

As with any cigars I'm sure there are duds with BBFs, but on the whole they are one of my favourite smokes, all the ones I have had have been anything but bland - definitely one I would recommend

[MarkLondon]

I agree with Shepsea, BBFs are possibly my favourite cigar. Would recommend them to anyone.

[PeeJay]

Funny that, I didn't enjoy the first Bolivar I had but by definition of how many of their vitolas I like I would have to say that they have become my favourite brand.

It's a bit less consistent with the Bolivar marca. But if you find a good box, they are quite spot on. The difference between the Petit Belicoso and the Belicoso Finos is like night and day. The BBF actually TASTES Cuban compared to the petit belicoso which (I have found) to be more like certain non-cubans I've had. If you told me it was a Non-Cuban cigar, I would've believed you . However, I haven't had one in a year or so... Perhaps time to revisit...

Be intresting to hear what you think about the petite belicoso butternut if you do decide to spark one up.
