# Bolivar Cofradia Review #13 by Koala

Finally sparking this one up. After resting it for a few days at 71% i popped this stick out and used a wide punch cut for it. I was very pleasantly surprised how great the cigar looked. Very smooth and well constructed. By Koala on December 9 2022 12:39:19 PM

## Bolivar Test Lab Smoke

Finally sparking this one up. After resting it for a few days at 71% i popped this stick out and used a wide punch cut for it. I was very pleasantly surprised how great the cigar looked. Very smooth and well constructed. First impression upon lighting was mellow tea with aromas of nutty and cherry.

Once I got into it, the second third really lifted the flavor up a notch. It is almost like a cherry cola with woody notes. It was pretty unique and took forever to get that description but it just fits for me so well.

Burn was even all the way except for one issue about halfway… it just went out. Admittedly I was smoking a little slower than usual to evaluate this cigar but I had no issues with a twenty ish second gap before or after. Thats a new one for me.

Overall I liked this stick but since this is my first Bolivar I want to explore more offerings before including this in my usual lineup.
