Bolivar Petite Belicoso EL '09

[vortex]

I decided to smoke another young-yet-interesting Bolivar Petite Belicoso EL '09. I was a bit worried when I tried one a year ago and found them very blah. Six months later they had turned into a flavorful smoke!

They are still bursting with typical Boli spice and leather with a bit of cocoa on the finish. I enjoyed it enough to snap a couple pics and give my brief report. Draw was loose pre-light but perfect after lighting. Wrapper a bit rough but oily, dark, and inviting. Plenty of smoke and spice right off the bat. Leather develops after in inch and cocoa soon after. The last bit the flavor was subdued. More evidence it isn't really ready yet. But there's aging potential in this cigar, IMO.


Excuse the lousy pics.

Nice pic's of a great smoke, you cant go wrong with a Boli and ageing brings out the best in them.

Smoked one today. Very nice. These will be excellent in a few more years.

I smoked one of these last night and thought it was the best CC I've smoked to date. My experience is pretty limited though as I mostly smoke NC cigars. It's definitely peaked my interest in exploring some aged habanos.
