I was digging out one of these boxes to ship out (pending) and thought what the hey, might as well open another and see how they’re coming. The wrapper is a nice, golden brown with what looks like noticeable tooth with slight oils and a couple few patchwork veins. The cigar has a good weight in the hand, a slight give when squeezed, and with the cap punched I find a perfect draw with taste of straightforward sweet tobacco.

I put fire to the foot and take a couple of puffs to get the fire going good, then a long draw getting a nice white pepper spice on the back of the throat from the good medium bodied smoke. Delicious, rich flavor of pecan/almond come through with sweet cocoa and a nice, black licorice. I detect notes of black coffee and a good woodiness as well.

The burn is sharp with a medium to dark gray ash forming that holds strong. Flavors continue to be very rich and complex the further in I go with an excellent, lasting finish that lingers on the palate just right. Thoroughly enjoying the fantastic Bolivar profile, just spot on all the way around.

Going into the last half, the burn continues to be sharp with a strong ash and a perfect draw allowing the perfect amount of medium to full bodied smoke through. White pepper spice continues to hit the back of the throat and flavors seem to be toning down slightly, possibly not as rich as in the first half, but still very good. The wife is calling me to come in for dinner, however I have to get as much of this as I can.

Although these are smoking fine now, I’m definitely looking forward to revisiting after a much longer rest. I have a feeling these are going to be fantastic smokes in a few years. Thoroughly enjoyable cigar! Well of course, it’s a Boli!!

I look forward to checking these out one day soon! :whistling:
Thanks for another great review. :thumbs:
 
I'm not a Boli fan at all but I can't seem to get enough of these. Fantastic cigars.
 
I picked up a box recently.
When I went to put it in the humi, I said 'crap'...and was staring at the 5 already in there. :blush:

Nice review!
 
Tone gifted me a 2007 BGM and I'm waiting a couple of years to smoke it.
 
I've got an '07 box and smoked one . . . gave another away. I love the Boli profile, but the one I had wasn't ready. It was earthy to the point of almost tasting like dirt. I hope some time in the humi will make these sticks shine.
 
Thems good, wish the 06 had been more available :(
 
I have one box and just picked up another today. I smoked one out of the box and it was a very tasty cigar. The rest of them will be taking a long nap though as I am pretty sure they will be fantastic in a few years.
