Dear Lord, Thank You.

Re: What Bolívar had the best flavor profile for you?
I like GM's and pc's, myself.
Boli isn't at all my favorite marca, but there are certainly some gems in there, even for me.

Re: What Bolívar had the best flavor profile for you?
One of the few CC's that I do enjoy is the Gold Medal.

Re: What Bolívar had the best flavor profile for you?
I prefer the Royal Coronas and the Petit Coronas, with honorable mention going to the PC Junior.
My absolute fav was the Coronas Extra, but alas, they've gone the way of the dodo. |

Re: What Bolívar had the best flavor profile for you?
For me, hands down the CJ's followed closely by the PC's then RC's.
As for the ER's, I dig the Britanicas and the Especiales No. 2.

Where's my buffaloooo ...

Re: What Bolívar had the best flavor profile for you?
I'm a big fan of the PCs especially with a few years on them.
Simones is my all-time fav regional in terms of flavor consistency and value Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: What Bolívar had the best flavor profile for you?
If I could only have one, it would be the RC.

Re: What Bolívar had the best flavor profile for you?
perhaps the most "complex" Cuban cigar...coronas junior.
earthier yet just as satisfying...petit corona. although I smoke more pc's...I remain convinced that the junior is a better cigar. derrek

Re: What Bolívar had the best flavor profile for you?
I will have to explore this. So far I've been enamored with the Belicoso Finos and Royal Coronas purely due to preference in size at the moment.
I have purchased BPC cabs, and while I think they're ok, I don't see why people rave about them. If the CJs are not as "dirty" as you say, I may be in for a treat! ps - why is the dancing banana called "noon" |
