Bolivar Royal Corona Cigar - Box of 25
by Michael
(Part 2) Still lots of lovely,smooth smoke on each draw.Medium/full body throughout the first 2/3.
Into the final 1/3 and now a full bodied cigar which was much more complex with some fantastic flavours evident,the only one of which I could confidently pin down was a dark,roasted coffee bean flavour as the final 1/3 developed.Just a fantastic smoke that I really did not want to lay down.Full of flavour,always smooth and never hostile in any way,shape or form and a lovely strong finish on the palate.This was the finest cigar I've smoked this year so far and it encapsulated everything I love about Habanos.

Bolivar Royal Corona Cigar - Box of 25

The cigar has a slightly box pressed shape,is perfect in its construction and has a lovely dark and oily wrapper.It surprised me a little in that it seemed to resist clipping just for a second which made me wonder if was slightly over humidified but that didn't prove to be the case.The pre-light draw was good and had the sweet and floral Bolivar flavour and the cigar has a lovely feel to it in my hands.I had to just slightly correct the burn within the first two or three puffs but after that it remained perfect and burned throughout with a light grey ash.
From the get go there was copious amounts of beautifully aromatic smoke that filled the room.The first 1/3 displayed lovely floral,Bolivar spiciness with lots of smooth smoke on each draw with the spice leading to a lingering pepper finish towards the end of the first 1/3.The second 1/3 still spicy but less so with the pepper giving way to some wonderful earthy,floral tones and a definite but subtle creaminess.Still lots of lovely,smooth smoke on each draw.Medium/full body throughout the first 2/3.

Lovely cigar. I bought this while on holiday from a tobacconist in the Venetian casino on the Las Vegas Strip and found it to be a lovely smoke. Lasted just over an hour and burned great and tasted fantastic. Unfortunately, due to the brand's prices this isn't a cigar i would normally buy. But if you have the cash to flash for that white and gold band, it's a great smoke.

Not a bad one. Was expecting a little more after reading the previous reviews, but pretty damn good all the same. Gave good smoke with a nice flavour.

I bought these in the duty-free on the way home from Vegas. I tried out a larger of the brand while out there and snatched them up when i saw them at the airport. I was a little disappointed, they're not as good to smoke as the Grand Cru No. 5. But i guess comparing them to a much larger cigar could be a little unfair. Overall, they're not half bad though. However, i would in future buy the Chinchaleros Chicos instead, as they are larger, cheaper and i prefer them.

Very nice. Burned nice and evenly and gave great smoke. Lasted about an hour.
