The Bolivar Belicosos Finos is a bold full of aromas that will delight the aficionado of strong Habanos.
- • This cigar can hold its own against a Montecristo No. 2 or the H Upmann No. 2.

Presentation

Dimensions:
Length: 140mm
Diameter: 20.64mm
Ring Gauge: 52
Shape: Pyramid
Appearance:
The Belicosos Finos is a very well constructed, very firm and well packed cigar with a smooth, chocolate wrapper and with little veins.
Smoking Notes:
Before lighting up
Aromas of wood and tobacco are present on the wrapper and cocoa on the foot.
Burn/ Draw
The cigar lights up very easily. The draw is on the firm side, as expected from the beginning, but it's not unpleasant. Any uneven burn quickly evens out, while thick grey ash is formed and stays perfectly on the cigar. The ash hangs on for almost 2 inches
Initial third:
It is medium bodied in the beginning, with strong taste of earth and wood, with hints of spice, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Middle third:
The cigar turns into a full bodied cigar with plenty of ash. The draw gets slightly looser, but still firm. The flavors are more complex, with the earthy flavor being more intense. We also taste some hay and grass.
Final third:
Spice, wood, cocoa and leather, all well balanced, deliver full and robust flavors. The cigar smokes well until the very end, without becoming hot or overwhelming. A lot of aging potential.
In summary, a strong, tempered, leathery, woody and rich flavors abound! A thick flavored and sumptuous cigar with bold flavors.
Smoking time
60 - 90 Minutes

Stands the test of time - immediately!

Back in the day, this was my favorite Cuban cigar. I snapped up a box of these recently when CT (briefly!) had them in stock. I should first mention that CT's amazingly fast service is how I'm able to write this review so fast!
I know these Belis will mature and get even better with age, but I couldn't wait to try one. It was wonderful, straight out of the box, straight from the delivery, straight from the factory to CT. It had the smoothness, complexity, and balance I fell in love with in this cigar 20 years ago. -

This is by far my favorite Cuban cigar. Loved the first box so much, I immediately ordered another. It is a complex cigar that won't disappoint. The burn is even and slow. I enjoy the nuttiness, cream, leather, and spice of this stick.
Just with they were in stock, I'm starting to run low! -
Young - lots of room to age

By Edward - This really isn't a fair review since my box date is September 2018. This is a real young cigar and needs some significant time in the humidor. I love Bolivars earthy rich loam smell and taste - this batch doesn't have that. I was disappointed in the olfactory of this cigar since that is what has always drawn me to it. I will tuck these away for a year and see how they age. It pains me to give this cigar a "3" but that's where it is today.

Received these cigars about 6 months ago. The box is dated August 16. Excellent packaging and shipping.
Excellent construction of the cigar, great appearance and aroma.
Not experienced enough to pick out all the flavours, but a cigar that I completely enjoyed. This is the 3rd box of these cigars that I have ordered and have never been disappointed. Smoking time is 1.5 hours.
