Bolivar Petit Coronas Cigar - 1 Single

Petite Corona is probably my favorite vitola. My go to 90 percent of the time is Montecristo number 4. I acquired 5 of these sticks in a CGars Bolivar sampler. Upon receipt, I put these in the humidor which contained my Montecristo no.4 stash. I selected a late night stick to accompany a 12 year old Macallan, again supplied by CGars, my go to for aged Macallan. Unaware, I picked the Bolivar and fired it up, I immediately realised that I was not smoking the number 4. It opened with spice, pepper, and moved into barnyard hay and earth. The draw on this cigar was perfect. Half way through it got creamy and the spice and pepper continued throughout the smoke. I had an expectation of this cigar being full bodied, but I feel that this example was medium. I enjoyed this cigar and wasnt disappointed, Im sure it would have more to offer with a few more years on it. Would I buy more of these? Yes I would, but if I was looking to buy a full box of petit coronas Id have to go with the Monty no. 4.

Incredible cigar with superbly rich tastes and aroma. The power was also just right balance, not to be shrugged off with impunity, yet not to be taken too seriously.I ranked the Partagas petit coronas especiales highest among the petit coronas but this is right there with it.

Exceptionally disappointing. Seriously tight draw, I had to give up on the final third.

An exceptional cigar with a marvellous rich taste, but it is not overly strong at all despite it being classed as full strength. Letting the smoke linger a little in the mouth after the draw brings out the wonderful flavours. As the surprise cigar in the August subscription I can honestly say that I am totally smitten with it and I will most certainly purchase more of these delights. It lasted a good hour, was consistently good with no problems whatsoever. I could not get any more out of the tiny stub that remained and it was a real shame it had to end!

Not the biggest fan of this cigar. Starts out pretty harsh; although I enjoyed the nutty notes in the second third, the final third didnt really do it for me. In my opinion its OK for the price, but there are far better Bolivars out there if you can spend the money.
