Quick Smoke: Bolivar Toro

3 Feb 2007

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

I first had a Bolivar at a B&M event when General Cigar introduced the Dominican-made brand. I liked it then, and when I recently lit a six inches by 52 ring gauge Toro that’s been in my humidor for more than a year, I still liked it. The blend has a full, warm taste. It’s not tremendously complex, but does vary with occasional sweetness and touches of leather and nuttiness. My only complaint is that the draw was a little tighter than I prefer. Toros list for $5.95, but you can find them cheaper in five packs or boxes.

Verdict = Buy.

    Sounds good.

    I've always felt that Bolivar was an under-rated brand.

    I like the new Dominican Bolivars. They have an unusual taste in my opinion. Some kind of new Nicaraguan tobacco from an island -Omentpe(sp?) that gives it a nice spicy kick.
