Bolivar Petite Corona (unsure of box code): Odessa to the 40 and 42 gauge Review Week


Recommended Posts

Excited to see this review thread set up as I have started to really enjoy the smaller rg cigars. Opened up my humidor and heard a wonderful whisper from this Bolivar PC. Sorry I don't have a box code for this. I got this out of a newbie box pass some of us here in the states had last year. This is also my first BPC!

Since it was my first BPC, I paired it with a Coke to help clear my palate. Pre-light draw was a little snug but not too bad. Hints of some coffee and tobacco were present. Toasted tobacco is one of my favorite flavors so I was pretty excited after the pre-light draw. Used my trusty FOH cigar traveler to toast and fire this thing up. First third was pretty good. Slight Toasted tobacco with a little coffee. At the end of the first third I got a horrible bitter flavor, almost unsmokable. Luckily this only lasted for 3 draws and then the cigar really started to shine.

Second third, this became a new cigar. The draw opened up a bit and the toasted tobacco went away. A sweet coffee came up front, maybe a slight chocolate within but a little kiss of pepper on the finish. The smoke was not thick but it definitely coated my tongue and had a rich feel to it. Sounds weird but the smoke seemed textured. I really enjoyed this part of the cigar.

Final third started out the same is the second except the pepper disappeared, the coffee was almost gone and the chocolate flavor become more pronounced. The smoke remained rich and for some reason, made me love the cigar even more!

The total time I was able to enjoy this beauty before I had to put it down was around an hour. This is definitely a box worthy cigar for me. Seems like something I would grab a 50 count box for, if they come in that, and put away for a few years before cracking it open to become a regular smoke! I highly recommed these to everyone.

A 50 cab of Bolivar Petit Coronas? Discontinued after 2012 but who knows, one may find a vintage box if they look hard enough. I'm glad you enjoyed it thoroughly!

That's a shame that they discontinued the 50 cab. I better keep my eyes open then!

Thanks Z! I definitely grabbed some good ones from that pass. If it wasn't for the review competition, that Lusitania was looking great!
