  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Anything similar in a NC to Boli PC?

Brothers,
The title says it all. What's even close? I am in love with that Boli I smoked tonight, what a dang nice little stick.

What is your favorite PC?

I agree, PLPC is one I like and although not PCs, in the smaller vitolas I like Parti Shorts and the SCdLH El Principe.

I think you're asking for an N/C that's similar to a Boli PC CC. Correct?
If so, the only ones I've run across that tend to parallel the Boli profile at times are the Gran Habano Corojo #5's. They have a Corona (little larger) vitola that tends to be pretty damn earthy at times. It's not the number one flavor of the GH but it is there to my palate. They typically run around the $4 range.
Good luck.

PS-IMO the Gran Habano #3 Habano has some of that characteristic Cuban "twang" that is that citrusy sweet flavor that revolves around the tannic finish of a few Bolivars. Some Boli's can have this "twang" much more prominent but the PC tends to be more earthy & savory in flavor.
PS-Try to dry box the cigars for a day or two before you light the Gran Habanos up. I tend to find they can use it if they're young.

Have you tried the Tat Noellas? It's my favorite NC in the petite corona vitola.

It's certainly not the same flavor profile as a Boli CC, but it is very bold and full flavored...a characteristic I find Boli CCs have. It's just a different kind of flavor, naturally.

No. I like the La Riqueza No. 5 for NC PC; but nothing I've smoked can answer yer question.

The Old Henry Coronas are pretty decent. You'll be hard-pressed to find anything too similar to a Boli PC, tho.

Had an illusione ~MK~ tonight, while not overly complex it did pretty good by me. Fantastic burn on this lil fella. I'd like to try one with 2+ years on it... Thoughts on the MK? Nice size for a quicky after the grind.
