Spotlight on the Bolivar Petit Corona: Compact Powerhouse with HeritageLet's break it down for the newcomers and refresh the veterans: The Bolivar Petit Corona is a classic Petit Corona vitola, measuring a refined 5 1/8 inches long with a 42 ring gauge. It's a full-strength contender that burns for about 25-40 minutes, making it an ideal choice for a contemplative break or a sophisticated evening capper. Born from the Bolivar marque—synonymous with bold, structured profiles—this cigar wraps Cuba's premier tobaccos in a Connecticut-seed broadleaf that delivers depth without overwhelming the senses.Priced accessibly at around £21.95 per stick (or better in a box of 25), it's a staple for collectors and casual smokers alike. Vintage enthusiasts take note: Batches from the mid-2000s often earn high marks for their richness and complexity, scoring a solid 91 in tastings. Whether you're stashing for aging or firing one up fresh, the Petit Corona embodies Bolivar's no-compromise ethos—robust yet refined.
The Flavor Journey: From Earthy Kick to Sweet FinishIgnite one, and the Bolivar Petit Corona unfolds like a well-aged story. It opens with a robust wave of leather, earth, and dry fruits, building into spicy pepper notes that add a lively edge without scorching the palate. As the burn progresses, expect layers of cocoa, baking spices, and hints of vanilla to emerge, rounded out by a subtle malted milk sweetness that's downright indulgent. The retrohale? A barnyard tang that lingers invitingly, keeping things dynamic from first third to nub.Reviewers call it full-flavored yet balanced—woody and sharp in youth, evolving into luscious harmony with a touch of time. I savored mine yesterday alongside a bold espresso, and the synergy was electric: that peppery spice cutting through the crema like a pro. It's versatile enough for novices easing into fuller smokes but packs enough punch to thrill the pros. Just a heads-up: If full-bodied isn't your baseline, ease in with a milder pairing.
