Bolivar Royal Corona Cigar - 1 Single by Nathan

Have just indulged in my first of these, after a full Sunday roast and appreciated with (firstly) a fresh coffee and (secondly) a dark rum. Currently I'm trying to work out how to muster the money for a full box - this cigar is damned near perfect. Excellent draw from finish to end, never hostile, never bitter, never tarry. Just superb. Strong flavours of coffee and black assam tea, creamy with a cocoa hint, and an aftertaste of smoked mopani wood. Took this fellow all the way to the nub and it could do no wrong. Agree with the other writers that the nicotine hit is something out of this world, and I for one would not consider this cigar on an empty belly. Buy some, and enjoy then on a full stomach, and you might be grinning as much as I am right now.

Bolivar Petit Coronas Cigar - 1 Single by Nathan

Oh my God! In honesty I had not been looking forward to this smoke, expecting something heavy and unsavoury, but this has just leaped to the 'top dog' slot in my humidor. Starts off exciting and complex, burns well, no acridness or bitter flavours, and just keeps moving the goalposts with every draw. Halfway through I was grinning like a monkey and made a note to get myself a box of these at the first opportunity - this first having been bought for me by my other half. For the price, you get a smoke that knocks the spots off of pretty much anything in this size that I have tried, and I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if I can find something that tops this. Buy one now and give it a try, compliment it with a glass of Havana Club, and see what you're missing out on.

Bolivar Royal Corona Cigar - Box of 25 by ArchivedCgarsReviews

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 wil
