SAM_3998.jpgSo after buying this cab at Auction last Nov, SAM_3999.jpgI finally found a good enough event to celibrate to try the first one. Having attended the wedding of our best friends youngest daughter last week, I had invited our friends over this evening to catch up watch the video clips that I took. Also to have a decent smoke as they didn't get the chance last weekend.
Having had a great cheese & wine evening, we went downstairs to the garage as it was raining & we couldn't use the patio. Having lit the candles & opened the cab, SAM_4001.jpgPaul & I punched a stick each & Ingrid chose a Cohiba Panatela. On lighting & taking a couple of puffs, the Boli flav came storming into my mouth.
I was more than a little anxious about trying my first stick from this cab as I had paid dble the estimate & it was a genuine gamble that they would not just be smokable but an excellent smoke to justify my leap of faith. If they were average I could have sold a few off but how many would want to pay that much for an avge stick?
Accompanying the Boli with a rather lightweight St Emillion, the smoke poured out, if I had my blanket, I could have sent this message with the signals. The earthy flav was heavy, infact the Boli flav was very powerful the whole smoke through. IMG_0059.jpgThis cigar was amazing that after 35-40yrs the flav hadn't muted at all, I have had plently of '98s & newer that didn't hold a candle to this one. Which goes some way to the theory that the Boli flav has been diluted over the yrs.
This cigar was a perfect after dinner smoke, if you don't have time for a longer smoke like the CG. I would have given it 100 pts but so soon after my first 100 pt cigar, it might seem too much so I'll settle for 99pts. The only thing I could think of knocking it down for is that it isn't as attractive as some other Cubans but hey apperances can be deceptive; personally there's nothing more that I am looking for when I take a Havana from the humi than this cigar delivered.IMG_0064.jpg
