Bolivar Belicosos Finos Cigar - Cabinet Selection - 1 Single

A well built medium + strength Cuban cigar with an earthy profile with a touch of spice. The only thing that spoilt this cigar was the uneven burn for the fist two thirds but still produce a good amount of smoke. It was an 80 minute smoke time for me fairly nice just got a bit spongy towards the end.

Bought as a special treat for my husbands birthday. Quite disappointed in the smoke. The cigar burnt blue smoke, apparently not a good thing, should be grey/white, and tasted very mild. In description stated it's one of the stronger of the brands range but in reality wasn't. Unsure if it was just a bad cigar or it's how it truly is. Didn't live up to expectations.

This is one of my go to cigars for quality and reliability. Nice size, smokes lovely with a nice minty/menthol taste, and woody notes. 5*

Let me tell you about my current favorite cigar. Its the Bolivar Belicosos Finos - Cabinet. This is a beautiful cigar, that is about 5.5 inches with a 52 ring gauge. The wrapper has a wonderful oily sheen, that highlight the slight toothy-ness of the cigar. To me, this represents the classic cigar. A torpedo shaped delight that emits clouds of wonderful smelling smoke. It reminds me very much of the classic cigar smoking hero in the movies. The cigars construction is perfect, with a cap that clips nicely. The pre-draw is excellent. Firm yet you dont have to force the air through the cigar. I light the cigar, and lean back and relax. The flavors are wonderful. As the cigar burns the oils glisten on the wrapper before they are consumed in the next puff. A friend recently described smoking this cigar as an almost religious experience, and I would have to agree. You wont want this to finish, and you will find yourself smoking it until your fingers cant hold the nub anymore. When it does end, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have enjoyed one of the true pleasures of this life. I give this cigar two thumbs up. Try one, you wont be disappointed.

The shape of these figurados is indeed beautiful. Tapered at the tip and gently widening towards the end, with a slightly box pressed look . The wrappers are dark, somewhat oily and not too heavily veined. A truly lovely looking cigar. The construction of each of the three felt uniform, except for one which upon feel, seemed more densely wrapped at the tip. After 4 days in the humidor, my very first impression upon lighting was that this cigar was milder than I had expected. From the initial puff, it was very smooth with an easy draw. I guess that's what people mean when they say a cigar is "creamy"? At the halfway point, the harshness fades and smoothness returns.
