The Bolivar Gold Medal LCDH returns with a golden wrapper set against a wider ring gauge than the original release, offering a modern take on a classic presentation.
On the cold draw, it opens with elegant notes of wood and chocolate. Once lit, the first third delivers a generous volume of smoke, evoking the rich flavor of roasted coffee beans. As the session progresses, the smoke gains body and depth, becoming rounder and more substantial.
In the second third, roasted and woody tones merge seamlessly in a smooth and gradual build in strength. The texture of the smoke turns increasingly silky, delivering a satisfying and enjoyable experience with no combustion issues and a steady rhythm.
The final third brings a subtle increase in intensity, marked by a hint of pepper, though the aromatic profile remains largely consistent.
Well-constructed and rich in character, the Gold Medal offers a long and rewarding smoke. While it leans more toward harmony than complexity, it remains a highly recommended choice for those seeking refinement and reliability.
