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. 

The Super Corona represents the second time that Bolivar has been selected for an Edicion Limitada, following the Petit Belicosos in 2009. It also shares its name, although not its dimensions, with a previous Super Corona produced by H.Upmann. Although two millimetres shorter than a standard Corona, it boasts a heavier ring gauge than the standard vitola. A Super Corona indeed.

Limited Edition cigars are made from specially selected tobacco leaves that have all been aged for a minimum of two years.

You will be introduced to earth, dark cocoa and coffee in the first third of this smoke, with subtle hints of pepper in the beginning which slowly develops into a touch of spice on the palette.

To finish off this fine and unique smoke, the flavours turn sweeter, with a slight raisin taste to it. Balanced throughout with hay and earth, you will notice the strength getting stronger as you finish this beauty. Sit back and relax in the evening with this cigar and your favourite dram!

"...The smoke of this dark, rustic cigar is dense and chewy, leaving earthy, espresso-like impressions on the palate. Clove and bittersweet chocolate notes appear as well..."
