Bolivar PC! You got the country right. The finish is usually the best part for me on these. I get the Oak flavor as well.

Pre-Light Draw: No discernible flavor, draw is a little tight

1st Third: Upon lighting, I immediately pick up a grassy flavor. A little spice is detectable through the nose. Sweetness kicks in. Grassiness is faint, spice is gone. Very smooth so far. I’m tasting something that I can’t quite define (champagne?). I’ll stick with the champagne description: smooth, sweet, and has a tingling feeling (like champagne bubbles). A little woody flavor is detectable (oak?). Sweet chocolate/caramel flavor is faint. Wood is the dominant flavor.

2nd Third: Woody flavor is now the only flavor detectable. Champagne flavor returns, but it’s not as strong as before. A tingling feeling through the nose is very enjoyable.

Final Third: The stick is becoming harsh, so I purge it and try to let it cool a bit. The stick ends with a musty, nutty taste.

Final Thoughts: I enjoyed this stick. I must have more. The end was a little lackluster, but the rest was quite tasty and enjoyable. I’d have to say that this is Cuban tobacco, a recent production. But then again, my CC experience is limited.
