New Bolivars?

[tylernim]

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.

I smoked one of these Bolivar 2005 Blends this week. It was the toro size. It was pretty good. It lit up very nicely and had a medium draw. It was fairly well constructed; it didn't burn perfectly, but not so bad as to put me off of it. The ash was fairly firm.

I don't remember all the taste intricacies, but I recall it wasn't boringly the same all the way through, it had some change as I smoked it down. (great big help I am, I know!) I would need to smoke some more to really get a good taste profile. On that note, I would order more.

I don't see any raisins!

George gifted me one of these in toro size and I liked it enough to pick up a 5er and pass one on to a BOTL to remain unnamed (see post 7!)

(Thanks again, George!)

These Bolivars are not new. They are simply a re-blended version released by General Cigar in 2005. I hear they are a lot better than the old Bolivars. I have a couple of robustos (in glass tubes) waiting to be smoked. They do look yummy with their dark red oily wrappers.

I was gifted one of these at the Quad-State herf. I enjoyed it. Had one of the older Bolivar's and I didn't think mush of it but the 2005 are better.
