Bolivar Super Corona 2014 LE

[butternutsquashpie]

you say could also taste slight coffee and chocolate.

Definitely got that, mate. I saw these and the Ramon Allones Extra LE 2011 were in the same boat.
They both tasted oddly like Non-Cuban maduros which I normally get aspartame flavours from...

These turned up just now, one of them is definitely being cremated over Christmas

Nice. I am amazed I haven't smoked mine yet. Thinking Christmas eve as promised a Behike Christmas day some time ago.

Figure more than one top notch cigar is a waste as wont get full taste

Did you manage to smoke one peejay, what did you think to it.

Good point.

Of the three 2014 LE and the Larranaga RE the Bolivar is certainly the poor relation regarding our sales here. This is a real shame as it is a fantastic cigar and everyone who has smoked them here gives it a real thumbs up. I suspect Bolivar as a brand is always going to struggle in the UK by comparison with the heavyweight brands.

In the 1970's Bolivar was regarded as a 'Bookies cigar' - something you would see at the racetrack. It has never been a prestige brand - but it really does offer something different.

Only just seen this...Interesting Robert. Bolivar are by far my favourite cigars....Funny thinking of them as 'bookies cigars'.

Have only had one once, was a rubusto size. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Good construction and had a nice dark chocolate and coffee flavour.

A gigantes is on the shopping list for this summer!

Petit Belicoso - a year ago was harsh and very, very annoying. Tasted like a non-cuban but 3x more the price.

Super Corona is meh. Okay smoke with good progression. But overall it was just too young to tell.
Better than the Petit Belicoso, though.

I get the impression having read reviews that the Petit Belicosos is a "Marmite" cigar for many.

Personally I loved the one I was gifted in the Birthday bombs.

Same with the few i had maybe not to some smokers tastes.

These bolivar super coronas are they 48 or 49 ring guage
some reviews say 48 others 49 not that it matters only 1 mm in it.

I had a petit beli 09 which blew me away, for a little bit. The two thereafter didn't come close. I'm still intrigued by this little pocket rocket... So much so I'd be tempted with a box buy

The difference is 1/64 inch not 1mm. The latter is 1/25" near enough so the difference is even less. A 48 gauge cigar is 48/64"

So is the super corona a 48 or 49 has to be one or the other surely.
