Bolívar Super Coronas 2014 - Edición Limitada (circa 2014)

The Bolivar Super Coronas was the third Limited Edition of 2014. That may seems a peculiar thing to say, especially as Habanos S.A does not assign ordinal rank to their special releases, but market-wise the large 58 ring-gauge Cohiba Robustos Supremos and the Partagas Seleccion Privada sold in greater numbers. It wasn't as if the Bolivar Super Coronas was a bad cigar, on the contrary, the 25-count packaging it came in probably accounted for lesser sales.

A Hermosos No.3 at 48 ring gauge x 140 mm (or 5½ inches in length), the Bolivar Super Coronas is the same size as a Punch 48 LCDH. Contemporary reviews at the time note its chocolate, Earth, leather, fruits, pepper and the fact it was faithful to the Bolivar marca. Strength-wise it was medium-full. How has it fared after over five years of rest?

This particular example, gifted by an anonymous benefactor (thank you - you know who you are!) had mellowed a little bit in the interim. The chocolate was more like cocoa or nutmeg, the earth and leather was like mushroom and forest floor-type flavours, the dried fruits was like mild licorice. The cigar began well and stayed that way throughout. In this instance I didn't note any complexity other than the usual increase in intensity as one smokes through a cigar, and more so in the final third.

I paired this with a quality espresso coffee and champagne cocktail and I must say those beverages complimented the cigar very well. In summary, this Bolivar Super Coronas was an excellent example of a special release Bolivar vitola. Time has indeed been kind to this cigar.

Today an RyJ Churchill from ESL MAY 18. Very good box, reliably full flavour and good construction. More the Ex.4 flavours here: a bit darker. This one I smoked in a blustery cool breeze, which messed it around a bit. Still very enjoyable.

A custom Robusto from Alex. One of the best made cigars I’ve had in a long time. All around outstanding.



LUB NOV 13 Connie A. This box has been outstanding.

Late night smoke. Froze my ass off but it was worth it to have a moment to unwind.

Romeo y Julieta Petit Royales RAT Ene 2020

I've had a few of these now to conclude that the Romeo y Julieta Petit Royales is a quality option when one is seeking a 30 to 40 minute smoke. I would option this right now rather than the similarly-sized H.Upmann Half Corona or Montecristo Media Coronas.

The cigar started with a strong hit of chocolate and cherry and soon settled into an outstanding toasted tobacco and spice in the the back half. All throughout the 35 minutes of the cigar I got plenty of smoke per draw and construction was exceptional, both in the ridges and length of the ash.

If you are privy to Romeo y Julieta as a marca, do yourself a favour and pick this up to try. I guarantee you that you'll be glad you did!
