ZAZ Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Great review. I actually tried this cigar for the first time yesterday, and I must agree about the final 1/3. I believe it was an 09 box as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarks Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks for the review Aizuddin. I have only smoked a few of the GM's and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. As a side note. I love the Inmensas and have always wondered how these compare to the GMs. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adic88 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Don't think i've had the Inmensas before. You've stirred my curiousity now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van55 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I thoroughly enjoyed your review. Still it appeared to me that you never expelled the smoke through your nose. To me you have to experience the smoke on the very back of your palate and through the nose to appreciate th nuances of a cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me you have to experience the smoke on the very back of your palate and through the nose to appreciate th nuances of a cigar. Yes, i've been trying to do it but i can't. I french the smoke instead to get a bit extra insight; take in a bit through the nose as i exhale it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docbp87 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Yes, i've been trying to do it but i can't.I french the smoke instead to get a bit extra insight; take in a bit through the nose as i exhale it. I find that the best way to learn to "retrohale" if you find you cannot (and this is how I first learned) is to draw normally, release 2/3 of the smoke or so, and then sort of swallow gently, while exhaling through your nose. The swallowing action will move the smoke back far enough that it will get caught in the exhale, and leave through your sinuses/nasal passage. I used to find it difficult to do, then once I got the hang of it, I quickly realized I was blowing too much smoke through my nose (which basically just resulted in a blast of peppery nose hair singing heat). Don't blow too much through your nose, and be sure to do it slowly. Great review as always Aizuddin. I have had my eye on a box of GMs for a while. The lonsdale vitola is quickly becoming one of my favorites, and Bolivar was the first Cuban marca I tried, and they have a special place in my heart/humidor. Thanks for sharing your experience. Keep up the awesome work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrink Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I love the Inmensas and have always wondered how these compare to the GMs. Any thoughts? These are distinctly different cigars. The GM's harken to the Bolivars of old, with a dark, earthy profile and black pepper notes. The Inmensas are very similar to the Coronas Gigantes, but better, IMO: a bit more intense and complex, with sweet citrus notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigcars Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 *I have two of these left. The one I'd had some weeks ago had aged nicely in the humi. VERY, very impressed - Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechenman Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks for another great video review. Love the Boli GMs...they are my favorite in the Bolivar marca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puros Y Vino Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Great review Aizuddin. You're really finding your groove with these videos. The GM's are great cigars. I should add more to my humidor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedipastor Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 "When God created cigars, he had a lonsdale in mind." Great quote, lol. I'd probably say lancero myself, but lonsdales are excellent Really great review. Bolivar is my favorite Habano marca, but I've yet to smoke a GM. It's the price that's kept me away so far (whenever I consider getting one, I say to myself ... but you can almost get two Royal Coronas, or a Corona Extra and a Corona Junior, for the same price!). But I definitely need to try one now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habanakane21 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Love your reviews buddy! I had a box back in 08 I think and I loved them. Just ordered a box yesterday. Your video reviews are great but it could improve....You just need a sidekick, who's a goofball and loves wine!! Ha Ha!... keep on keepin' on and I'll keep on watching!

Charltonc Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I have a box on the way. I smoked some a couple months ago and they were delicious aren't they discontinued? Everyone wants donkey **** cigars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adic88 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Yeah, sadly discontinued. The good news is that stocks of this cigar seem quite healthy for now... should be no problem picking up a box over the next 12 months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechenman Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Damn...another one of my favorite cigars going the way of the dodo bird. Just can't seem to catch a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
