Bolivar Royal Corona Quick Review

[vivalanation734]

Bolivar Royal Corona
Size: 124mm x 50
Origin: Cuba
Construction: Good
Draw: slightly too loose, but not a wind tunnel

This was my first tast of the BRC, but I am a huge Bolivar fan (BBF/BGM). This cigar wasn't too complex nor did it change too much throughout the smoke so I decided to turn this into a quick review rather than a typical "thirds" based review.

The cigar started off very smooth for being so young. The predominant flavors were sweet wood, subtle pepper and a nice pumpkin pie spice finish. This was most of the smoke. The final two inches of the cigar were more full bodied and began to show some great little nuances. Hints of orange peel and creme brule finished this cigar off nicely.

Would I buy a box: yes
Should you try one: yes

This was my fun shot for the day courtesy of the iPhone and some fun camera apps.

Thanks for the review and pictures.

I smoked one on New Years Eve and was surprised how good it was. I also found it to be a very mild cigar, not nearly as strong as the Partagas Serie D No. 4.

Hello Young Theologian,
Great review and fun pictures! It looks like a very interesting cigar. You mentioned it was a young cigar. What is the date on the box, if you know? I have yet to try a Bolivar, but I find the flavor profile you described to be very interesting. I look forward to trying one soon.
Thank you,
Curtiss

Always keep a box on hand. Like a staple in the CWS humidor.
