Default Good, Bad, Ugly

Last weekend my son and I went to the local to smoke a couple of Boli Immensa's.

The Good

These were purchased at the LCdH in London and have a pretty second band that say's "1997" on it. Well this was one creamy, sweet, and spicy smoke. Fantastic! I would rate it a 9.3 and is one of the best I have ever smoked, period.

The Bad

My son got nicotine'd about 2/3rds in and let it die. this after he said it was mild when we first lit them up. I told him not to confuse mild and smooth cuase it does have some strength.

The Ugly

I left my Palio on the table and I did not discover the fact until this weekend when I went to smoke. Fortunately, I have a cheapo. but this really sucks as I really love that thing. I am bummed.

Thanks for listening.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the H&F boli. I was curious about these smokes.
Sorry to hear about the ugly part.

Glad to hear it was a good smoke- even if your son got a large does of Vitamin N.

Maybe call the B&M? I'm sure they dont just throw away a Palio...

Nope...they add it to their personal collection. Just kidding, I agree they might still have it.

It was nice sitting outside smoking a great cigar with my son. The Local I refer to is a Pub not a B&M and I checked and they do not have it. Oh well I'll just keep using my cheapo for now and pick one up on the next group buy. I wanted a Burlwood one anyway
