Bolivar Tubos No. 2 Cigar - Box of 25

Date Added: Monday 29 September, 2025 by Richard

The Bolívar No.2 Tubos was a cigar I approached with a mix of excitement and caution, since the brand has a reputation for being fuller-bodied and more intense than some of the Cubans I’ve tried so far. Opening the tubo, I was greeted with that distinct Cuban aroma—earthy, woody, and a little sweet. The construction was excellent, with a solid feel and no soft spots. On the cold draw, I picked up subtle notes of hay and cedar, with just a hint of spice. Once lit, the cigar wasted no time in showing character. The first third delivered rich, earthy flavors, backed by a peppery spice that tingled on the tongue. It wasn’t overpowering, but it definitely had more bite than, say, a Romeo y Julieta No.2. The smoke was thick and aromatic, with hints of leather and roasted coffee coming through as it developed. The draw was smooth, and the burn stayed mostly even throughout, needing only a small correction near the middle. By the halfway point, the cigar settled into a satisfying balance of wood, cocoa, and spice, with a touch of sweetness keeping things interesting. Toward the final third, the strength ramped up, but it never crossed into harshness—just a bold, confident finish. Overall, the Bolívar No.2 Tubos felt like a step up in intensity from other Cubans I’ve enjoyed, but still very manageable for someone like me who’s exploring different brands. A great introduction to the Bolívar profile, offering strength, complexity, and refinement in one neat package. Rating: 8/10

I really enjoyed smoking the Bolivar Tubos No. 2. It had rich, earthy flavors with hints of leather and spice, lasting around 45 minutes. It’s a solid smoke, but not something I’d reach for often. Still, a good experience overall.

One of my favourite, very tasty cigar up to 40-50 minutes, a lot of favourite and not bad for the price. I recommend it

Novice smoker (Sampled H.Upmann, Montecristo, RyJ and J.L.P cigars) this one is a marvellous little smoke, you won’t be disappointed. Spicy and zesty with excellent draw and a clean after taste. I can’t delve into all the complex flavours as I’m quite new to Cubans but I found this one very pleasing and typical of the Cubans I tried in Miami. Very authentic, earthy flavour to be expected from this brand. Lasted just shy of 40 mins, with modest toking. Will sample more Bolivar, for sure.
