Anyone have any experience with these?

I have an opportunity to get some, just curious if they're worth it.

Not with that year. However, with that vitola, I am sure they are good as hell.

Not much goodness in hell ... probably best to pass on these.

My experience puts these milder then I expected probably by being close to the 95 change. I still enjoyed the rich Boli flavors, but they weren't as full as I had hoped. That's not a bad thing, just unexpected. I say if the price is right, pull the trigger. You can't go wrong with aged Bolivars in ANYONES opinion.

Kurt, how would you compare to the 01 BCG's? I thought the 01's were outstanding.

These were the only 5+ y/o BCGs I've had so I'm not sure if they're the norm, or the exception. Basically all the younger ones I've had have been much fuller and possibly even richer. Maybe CGs go through a somewhat muted phase that lessens their strength before the flavors blossum into fully aged tobacco. What I can say is that the younger ones I've had are without a doubt also terrific.
