    I reckon, get your hands on them before they disappear forever....discontinued in 2002 due to the scarcity of the gold foil.

    James Suckling said these were one of his favourite smokes right now!

    I haven't been online for a while since I had to go to the States on short notice as my mom passed away. We had a wake for her and I did smoke one of my Boli Gold Medals.

    They are fantastic if you like the Bolivar flavour. There are a lot of great cigars in the Bolivar line so that makes picking a best one pretty hard, but these would definitely be in the running.

    The original production was discontinued in 2002. IIIRC, they did re-release them as a special deal for the German market for a year or two around 2005-2007. My dates might be a little fuzzy. I'm pretty certain they are back in regular production now and have been for a couple years as they are not difficult to find. Almost every online vendor I've used and trust has them in stock and when I was in Madrid in May, the shop I went to had a few boxes.

    I do recommend them, particularly with a bit of age.
