Bolivar Petit Belicoso LE 2009

Ring Gauge: 52
Length is 5”

* Attractive:
Double Band: with the classic Bolivar and EL 2009

* Composition:
Two year old Wrapper, Binder, and Filler

Wrapper:
* Dark and Oily, very similar to a Maduro color; darker than some recent Dominican Maduro wrappers

Firm and somewhat hard to the touch;

Foot:
* Composed of very dark Brown, almost Black tobacco at the center. It exuded earthiness and spice prior to lighting

Beverage enjoyed with this smoke:
* Havana Club 3 Year Old Anejo White Rum

Pre Light Draw:
* While firm to the touch, when cut with my Davidoff Guillotine Cutter, there appeared to be “no” construction or draw concerns. Definitely no blockage

Initial Thoughts:
* Puffs of thick white smoke, with Full Flavor from the start
* Very Rich, Spice, possibly Pepper and Cherry. On the Palate
* Definite complexity for the experienced

As the complexity and enjoyment of the Rum began impact my mood, I begin to think about the traffic outside my office.

An amazing site, but normal for Shanghai: 21 lanes of traffic with vehicles of every size and description, demonstrative of the term Chaos Theory.

Finale:
* But, alas, I am enjoying the final few puffs. Complexity, Full, Flavor, powerful finish. I long for more. Demonstrates Bolivar is one of the powerhouses of Cuba.

Rating:
* Definitely not a cigar for a beginner. These Petite Bolivars most definitely will improve with age. The richness, depth and complexity on the Palate and spice, makes me think, what these will be like in 5 years

A must try for the mature smoker of full bodied, in your face flavor. 88.
