Bolivar Belicosos Finos - 25 cigars

Product Review (submitted on November 2, 2013):

The pre light aromas of the torpedo shaped Cuban cigar are robust and also floral like. The first thing I notice after lighting up is a perfect draw and a silky smooth, creamy peanut butter note that coats the palate, tasting wonderful. The strength of the cigar is mild to medium, in power, as it opens up. Medium body in flavor.

One inch into the burn, I notice notes of marshmallow, caramel, maybe even vanilla with a mild coffee with cream note that lingers balancing the cigar's flavors over the entire palate. The ash is grey in color and is holding firmly. The flavors deepen through the nose, by taking a deeper draw and blowing the tail end of the smoke out my nose. The Cuban tobacco is so exquisite, there is no burn from the smoke through the nose, instead it is very cool and smooth, with a clean buttery smooth finish. This is exactly what people say Cuban cigars are known for.

Into the second third of this top notch Habana, now medium-full in body, an added profile of flavor notes from leather, earth, and coffee with a mild spice linger on the finish. The dominant note is peanut butter, complementing the creamy smooth tobacco flavors.

Into the final third, the deeper flavors of coffee, earth and spice are now full. The clean finish compliments the hearty flavors. To rate this cigar out of a 100, I give the Bolivar Belicosos Finos a 92. With another year of age in the Spanish cedar lined humidor, the tobacco will marry and smoothen out the last third adding to the enjoyment of this Cuban figurado.
