Excerpts from a book

[Simon Bolivar]

Bolivars have got much milder in recent years, we always used to recommend having a decent meal before one.

Have to agree PJ but still love them. Wouldn't recommend any Boli's as an aperitif, except the Demi tasse with a bold, extra brut champange.

The Party Salomones & No2 are excellent post dinner smokes. The Monte A after a light lunch? Depends what you call light, I would have some meat but not a steak, chicken or ham. It is a light med for the first 1\3 but builds up to med for the last third. I have always smoked them in the afternoon, probably because that's when I have sufficient time to enjoybthem &not be rushed.
