2009/08 – Chinese Take Away Smokes

5 Aug

Bolivar Armonia ER China

August 2009

Not much – a nice summer evening in the pharmacy courtyard.

I invited Andreas to some Bolivar Armonias ER China, a present by Min Ron Nee this year and a nice take away dinner from the local Asian restaurant with some friends, the “Witches of Woerrstadt“.

The food : OK.

The cigars : young, young and young again, hints of potential lurk – but I could not wait …..

The fun : priceless.

We finished off the evening with Sancho Panza Sanchos EN 00 I found in Spain last year – one of the best cigars we both have enjoyed lately. We smoked it down to the nub.

Great bouquet and refined herbal & spicy aroma after a muted first third and finger licking good right to the very end, an outstanding cigar !

Retired life is a bitch ……. : – ))

And here’s Andreas take on the Bolivar :

Also from my side many thanks to MRN for the opportunity to smoke such a cigar!

I’ll try to tell a little about the cigar:

The cigar is very young – which is no surprise really 😉

BUT – a lot of ER´s I’ve smoked before had no typical Brand-Taste and are made for young smoking – that is my impression of many of the Ediciones Regionales.

THIS cigar now has a typical Bolivar-Taste!

Young and not pronounced – but Bolivar nevertheless.

The flavours are there in a kind of a “light version Bolivar” and it is not a harsh mix of them.
You can taste the earth, the spice, the wood – all the flavours that I love Bolivar for!
Even if this cigar is young – there is – like the name tells you – a harmony in blending that I never found in a young ER before.

An excellent cigar – typical for Bolivar with a big aging potential.

So congratulations to our Chinese friends on such a good cigar!

Andreas
