LA FINCA Bolicare, double corona (7.5x50). Nicaragua.
Caress this cigar. It feels like skin.
An odd note of Kuco Cement comes from drawing the freshly-cut, unlit cigar. Maybe it’s poorly-chosen plastic wrap on the shipment. Don’t worry. No hint of this mars the lit cigar.
This big beauty starts as gentle as a kitten and blossoms into velvety, complex pleasure, with a hint of nutmeg. I’ve read that La Finca is a full-bodied cigar. Huh? Not this.
By halfway down, the taste firms up a bit from the opening softness. A little spice comes in, and the strength increases from mild to medium.
The cigar is pleasant with port, bad with bourbon, clashy with cognac, and the best with a fine tea. At less than $4, this is a great bargain in fairly mild, but big and soft enjoyment.
