Bolivar Tubos No. 2

[Wasch_24]

I finally smoked the one I had on my way into work this morning. It was from a fellow BOTL and I didn't have the date for it. I am fairly confident it was a youngin'.

Great tasting cigar but a little too potent for a morning smoke. You would think the more I smoke the more I would be able to tolerate the strong cigars but it seems the opposite is becoming reality. It seems that anything with less than two years on it is just too much for me lately. :dunno:

I guess I'm just a light weight. :waving:

Maybe you're becoming a connoisseur.

Nah, he's just a lightweight. :wink:

I bought a fiver of these from 98 a couple weeks ago, and they were awesome! I smoked all of them within two days, just couldn't keep my hands off. They were definitely full bodied, but lost a lot of the kick.

Todd, if you can get some with age, they're definitely worth another try.

 

[Wasch_24]

Oh. no worries about that Sam. I haven't written them off yet.

I would love a PM from anyone who knows of intact 98 stock. Thanks!

I think my tastes are starting to move in the connoisseur direction. I used to like cigars with more spice and punch, but now I like to taste the sublties a bit more. :razz:

Can anyone tell me how these compare to the BCJ's? The CJ's are a prety potent little smoke IMO.

These are very similar to the regular Bolivar PC, they are the exact same size...just a little more in your fave due to the slowed fermentaion, IMO.

I was hoping someone was going to mention this on this thread. I have gone round and round with people...
is it the same cigar or is it different. MRN does not mention a difference between these and the PCs.
He only states they taste similar. Many have said the Tubo #2 is "richer", to which I can agree,
but would tend to think that is because slower aging in the tube.
.
To date, no one has convinced me they are 2 diff blends. I am waiting for
someone to come back from the factory in Havana.

 

[Wasch_24]

My guess would be the same cigar all together with the enclosed tube creating the slight difference in flavor.

I smoked a few of the Boli #2's while on vacation, I agree, they seem to be richer and have more kick than the PC. I love Bolivar :blob:
