Bolivar Super Corona 2014 LE

[TonyN]

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

Yet our sponsor states 49.

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

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.

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...

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.

[MarkLondon]

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

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

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.

Sounds great, I better have one of mine soon!

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

[TonyN]

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

Sorted then.

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

These bolivar super coronas are they 48 or 49 ring guage
some reviews say 48 others 49 not that it matters only 1 mm in it.

The difference is 1/64 inch not 1mm. The latter is 1/25" near enough so the difference is even less. A 48 gauge cigar is 48/64"
