Bolivar Petit Belicosos Edicion Limitada 2009 Cuban Cigar Review
Tuesday, January 12, 2010
This week, we have another guest review from our friend Ryan Collman. He’s reviewing the Bolivar Petit Belicosos Edicion Limitada 2009, which is a limited release Cuban cigar from last year. Enjoy!
Vitola: Petit Belicosos
Ring gauge: 52
Length: 4.9 inches
Construction
Perfect. At least Cuba is putting more into quality control on their higher end smokes. This cigar is flawless. Beautiful cap and foot. No soft spots.
Pre-Light Draw
Perfect resistance. Lots of pepper on the lips. Rich tobacco taste.
1st third
Surprisingly mild for a Bolivar. Cedar, earth, and pepper, but nothing to knock your socks off.
2nd third
The true Bolivar flavors are starting to show up with some strength. That lovely citrus flavor is now making itself known. The flavors are quickly matched with some vegetal youngness that should be gone in a year or two. This cigar has some potential.
Final third
The cigar finishes on a great note, if you can see through the “greenness”. If you get stuck on the youth of this stick, you’ll get frustrated but, if you see through it, you should be able to see the potential this cigar has.
Final rating
88 points with the possibility of 91+ points with a year or two of age.
In a few months, when the price drops on these, it’d be a good time to invest in a box for aging. If you liked this post, buy me a beer!
