a good customer brought back a Bolivar Churchill for me while outside the US. Has anyone tried these, I have heard these are potent Cubans, and I guess I would like to have an idea of what I am getting into before I fire it up.

you are getting into a good cigar. a little stronger than monte's. i have smoked their boxed pressed.

#4 are excellent. (#4 is a small belicoso) I love em.

I've had the Bolivar Belicoso Finos (extremely strong-eat a large luch/dinner before you attempt to enjoy it..LOL), Petite Coronas (nice smoke), and the Bolivar Gigante (IMHO the best cigar I've ever had-Strong but extremely flavorful)...Can't say I've had the Churchill.

The Bolivar Belicoso Finas are a beautiful and damn powerful cigar! I have had the pleasue of smoking several of these and they are a real treat! They are a favorite of several friends of mine. I wish I could get a legitimate box of them(not a knock off). You are in for a real treat. LOL Charlie

One of my favorite isom's.

Absolutely one of my BIGGEST happy zone 'gars... Used to live on (2-3 yrs) Partagas, Montecristo and Macanudo... but this Dominican has one hell of a personality... I love this smoke (ALWAYS the same great taste, draw.... VALUE !)
