Not as strong or as spicy as the Partagas Serie P No. 2,
I find the Bolívar Belicosos Finos a suave Cigar. The typical
Bolívar flavours are there, but they're not as punchy as some other vitolas
in the brand.
The Belicosos Finos comes in both a slide lid box and dress box of twenty
five. The Slide Lid Box is slightly more harder to find, but worth the search if
you intend to age the Cigars.

One of the best Cigars in the Bolívar range, the Coronas Extras
will be sadly missed as it was announced it would be discontinued in 2012.
My favourite Cigar in the Bolívar range. The flavour profile, the Corona
Gorda size & the construction is top notch.

Along with the Por Larrañaga Petit Corona, my favourite 'go to'
Cigar of this size. Possibly one of the strongest vitolas available
in terms of flavour in the Bolívar range, the Petit Corona has strong notes
of leather, spice and espresso.
The cabinet of fifty are highly recommended if you can source yourself a box.

Pretty much every review of the Bolívar Royal Coronas
I have read or watched online has been a positive one.
I'm glad to announce that over the last few years, the Royal Coronas has not let me down.
The Royal Coronas was voted Cigar Aficionado's Cigar of the Year for 2007,
that prompted many aficionado's to revisit this once overlooked Cigar.

I've always found the Bolivar Tubos No. 1 good value when it comes to
strength. This Corona sized Cigar gives plenty of flavour.
