New Bolivars?

If you are referring to the NC ones that have a gold band on them. No, they are not new. One of CA magazines gave a coupon for a free one and it would have been around I think the Sept 2005 issue time frame. From my experience with them, they have a terrible burn. I love Bolivar NC and isom, but I let this NC one rest for a few months and it never did burn right. I havent gotten a new one since. It tasted fine but it was to much hassle.

Sometimes I get out of the loop on what's new and exciting in the cigar world.

I don't know if I'll be able to find these locally or not....if I do I will definitely pick up a few to try out.

The only new Bolivar I know of are the Blk lable with gold writeing/face.
Oscuro fillers I believe or oscuro wrapper with ligero fillers and others in the blend,forgot.
Its an excellent cigar and does not get bitter like the cofradia(the new fuerte).The origional fuerte I never liked.My first was a longsdale type size that had no flavor and was so smooth and mild I wanted to inhale every puff..err...drag.

Bobalouie loves the cofradia and swears by them but I found them bitter and lousey tasteing.

The new Black lable Bolivars are one of my favorite go-to cigars.Full body and very flavorful,burns excellent and has no harshness what so ever.Try them,you wont be disappointed.

These "Click Me" are the ones I'm talkin about.

I will try to pick up a few, maybe I can find a sampler somewhere online.

Those are not new. I've seen them for a while.

I recently got a toro. It's in the humi, but I will post here when I try it (if I remember).

Two shops in my area cary these bolivars. I've had the one in the glass tubos. The flavor was good, some raisins...and it burned well for me. The only problem was that that flavor wasn't quite strong enough. I have the churchill sitting in my box right now. It will be there for about a month before I smoke it so no verdict there yet. However, the churchill was in the top 25 of 2005 in the Keifer Sutherland Cigar Aficionado.
