BOLIVAR

Simon Bolivar was one of the great historic figures of the 19th Century who liberated much of South America from Spanish rule.

The Bolivar brand was created in 1902 and is based today in the Partagas factory which is in the heart of Havana. 

It is perhaps not surprising that a Habano named after such a powerful figure is blended to match his might. Bolivar is among the strongest, most full bodied of all Habanos. It boasts an unrivalled richness of flavour in its blend of Vuelta Abajo zone filler and binder tobacco that makes it one of the most sought-after marques amongst experienced smokers. 

All sizes of Bolivar are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano,’ – long filler, totally handmade. It is the brand of choice for enthusiasts who like strong flavours!

ROYAL CORONA

This star size of the 1990's returned in 2006 to top Cigar Aficionado's poll for best cigar of the year - the first Cuban ever to do so.

Tasting Notes

A full flavoured, full strength, spicy and woody tasting cigar. Although the Royal Corona is full strength it is never aggressive and the aroma is more subtle than one would expect.

---- 

90 / 100

"An attractive robusto with a slightly uneven burn but open draw. Initial notes of orange peel and sweet tea segue into a heavier smoke of earth, hazelnut and a bit of caramel..."

Well, I must agree with the editors of Cigar Aficionado magazine (Feb. 2007 issue). This was named THE Cigar of the year for 2006. My box arrived in impeccable condition a scant 24 hours after ordering it from MO. POS factory, date code Sept. '06. Pre-smoke inspection revealed a solid, box-pressed shape with perfect uniform construction, size and shape on every single stick. A Slight oiliness on the wrapper. The smoke lit and burned evenly throughout with a light grey ash. The draw was absolutely perfect throughout (I prefer a bullet punch on Robustos). The flavor was strong and powerful, but young, with a strong finish on the palate. A very potent punch midway through as the spiciness really came through. Not a smoke for the faint-hearted, nor would I recommend it on an empty stomach or as a morning smoke. Flavor was complex and spicy with more complex notes towards the middle. I would say overall an EXCELLENT vitola with complex flavor. Again I agree with the editors at CA that these do need to sit and mellow for a few years. I can tell though, that in 3-5 years, these will tame to a VERY rich experience, held for special occasions. +++++ written by John Romano

The Bolivar Royal Corona is one of the strongest cigars Ive ever smoked. It packs a headache delivering punch when it hasnt been aged well...But, when its aged (5+ yrs.) and kept well, its one of my favorite smokes for a cold Fall day. The box/label picture is one of the more curious ones among cuban cigar brands. Is that guy wearing lipstick? written by Antoine
