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 TUBED
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.
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.

"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..."
