Just as the title says, what is the difference in these sticks? Tried to look it up to no avail.

Bonitas are 5 x 40 whereas the PC is 5 1/8 x 42...

Thanks Greg

I was wondering more about the filler, do the Bonitas have any short filler, and are they different filler leaves than the PCs? I guess what I'm wondering is, are the PCs generally more well liked than the Bonitas?

I'm thinking all the same wrapper/filler, just different vitolas (sizes).

Thanks Greg. Wonder why they aren't more popular.

Good question. For me, I usually go with the Boli Jr. for a smaller smoke. I have always chosen the PC over the Bonita because of the 50 cab, plus the fact that there's not a lot of difference in the size; however it's also according to the best price and/or year.

"All Habanos cigars are now handmade (Totalmente a Mano) and are virtually all long filler (Tripa Larga).

Jose L Piedra, La Flor de Cano, and Quintero brands comprise all short filler (Tripa Corta) cigars.

Por Larrañaga, Rafael Gonzalez, and Fonseca each contain a single short filler (Tripa Corta) cigar" - From CCW

Although it is ostensibly the same tobacco, the Bonita does not smoke nearly as fuerte as the BCJ or the Bolivar Tubos, There is a greater concentration of flavor, you would expect with these smaller vitolas, but the Bonita is a less strength.

Another big plus is the fact that the CJs can be found in a 50 cab (I believe). Which makes it easier to store in bulk a nice quick smoke for rainy days.

[investandprosper]

Wow, I've never seen a 50 cab of them.

P.s. That Bespoke was an amazing cigar!

Glad you liked it brother.
It's a knee-kncoker though.
