Growing too fast.
While the wife is floating around in the pool catching some rays, I go up front with the baby girl Jess to let her play in the sand box while I fire up a ’98 Bolivar Lonsdale. The wrapper is light brown, smooth with small veins, and only a slight bit of oiliness noticeable. It’s very firm, has a box pressed shape, and with the cap punched I find the draw has only a slight over resistance with a matured tobacco taste.
With fire to the foot, I take couple of quick puffs and then a long draw getting a nice spice on the back of the throat. There’s a nice sweetness to it with rich coffee and vanilla bean flavor coming through. The smoke itself is a good medium in body with an excellent finish left on the palate after exhaling.
The burn is sharp with a compact, dark gray ash forming that has noticeable tooth throughout. It falls on its own at only about a quarter inch. I find the draw working well with the strength of the smoke, and it actually opens up perfectly once the cigar has warmed up, allowing plenty of the smooth and richly flavored smoke through.
Going into the final third, the body picked up to full with a really rich coffee bean taste with wood and worn leather notes. The finish left on the palate was simply incredible, lasting long after exhaling. Even though this was a long smoke, I hated to see the thing end and was actually tempted to go light another! Oh how I do love a good Boli!

Great review!
