Rated 86 on 2007

A firm draw and uneven burn on this box-pressed corona. A slow starter, predominant flavors amount to sweet cedar and pencil lead. The medium-bodied cigar could use more complexity.

Rich and brown, this well-made corona has a fine draw and an even burn. It’s medium to full bodied, with complex flavors of orange peel, earth and mushrooms. A fine smoke.

Bolivar Coronas FAQ's

In Cuba, Bolivar Coronas are generally priced lower than in international markets. Cuban cigars typically range from $8 to $90 USD per cigar, depending on the brand, vitola, and availability. Prestigious names such as Cohiba, Montecristo, and Partagás sit at the higher end. There is no real price advantage to purchasing full boxes, as the per-cigar cost remains the same unless you intend to leave the country with more than 50 cigars, in which case proper documentation is required to avoid confiscation by Cuban authorities.

For online buyers, packaging plays a key role. Boxed Bolivar Coronas cigars require official documentation and customs review before leaving the country, increasing shipping complexity and cost. That is why Bolivar Coronas cigars purchased online often cost more than in Cuba, largely due to the required paperwork for shipping. Bolivar Coronas cigars can also be shipped without boxes while maintaining the same quality, and are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee on delivery, offering a more refined and cost-conscious approach.

Advice: Always request a receipt when purchasing cigars in Cuba “no exceptions”. Without proper documentation, cigars especially boxes will be confiscated by Cuban authorities during inspection on your return flight home.

The most seamless approach is to purchase Bolivar Coronas directly through us online or at our retail shop in Havana, Cuba. Even if your Bolivar Coronas cigars were not sourced through us, our team can assist in arranging everything for you while you are in Cuba, ensuring a smooth and discreet experience.

When departing Cuba, airport customs generally allow one box and one bundle without a receipt. While some suggest higher quantities may pass without documentation, a more measured approach is always preferred. Maintaining your receipt is strongly recommended.

For those seeking a more effortless experience, shipping Bolivar Coronas is often the preferred option—particularly when traveling with larger quantities or without full documentation.

Short answer: No. (Consider purchasing online instead.)
Long answer: Yes… if you understand how the conversation is meant to unfold.

Traveling? Tips for returning to the United States with Cuban cigars.

When arriving in the U.S., the question is rarely just about cigars it’s about how you answer. If asked whether you have anything to declare, the reply is simple and measured “No”, especially when the total value stays within that familiar $800 threshold, a number that, like most things, can change over time. 95% of the time you will have no issues.

If the conversation becomes more direct, the details matter. If you are arriving from Cuba, the answer should still be “No”, because any cigars or liquor will be taken away if you say Yes. If you say No and they inspect your bags, worst case they’ll confiscate your cigars and liquor, and give you a verbal warning. Do not attempt to negotiate or explain, just say “I didn’t know” nothing more. The goal at this point is to leave with a verbal warning.

Saying “Yes” will ALWAYS result in losing your cigars and liquor.

If you are arriving from Spain or anywhere outside of Cuba, then you can answer “Yes” and simply say you have cigars or liquor from Spain or wherever your journey last took you. Do not say Bolivar Coronas, just keep it simple and say cigars.

Avoid all of this and buy from us, or have us ship it to you if you already sourced your cigars in Cuba.

It’s not about avoiding the truth it’s about understanding how it’s told. Like a good cigar, timing and delivery are everything. The goal is to arrive home and enjoy your Bolivar Coronas.

Absolutely. Fresh, it already shows muscle and character. With time two, three, even five years it gains refinement. The sharper edges round out, the sweetness becomes more pronounced, and everything integrates beautifully. This is a cigar that rewards patience, the way good rum or old friendships do. Put a few away, and one day you’ll thank your past self.

Ah… the Coronas is classic Bolívar bold, uncompromising, yet balanced. Bolívar cigars are known for their strength, but the Coronas manages to deliver full-bodied richness in a slightly more approachable format. It is muscular, yes, but elegant. Every draw reminds you that this is not a casual smoke; it demands attention, and rewards it with unwavering flavor. It’s the kind of cigar that doesn’t just sit in a humidor it announces its presence from the moment you lift the band.

The opening is assertive leather, cocoa powder, a touch of black pepper that wakes up the palate. As it settles, the Coronas finds its balance: roasted coffee beans, dry wood, and a subtle sweetness that sneaks in like molasses on warm bread. The final third deepens, becoming richer and more contemplative, never harsh, just confident to the end. By the time the ash falls, you feel like you’ve taken a quiet journey no words needed.

Bolívar craftsmanship is evident immediately. The wrapper is smooth and slightly oily, promising consistent burn. The draw is firm yet generous producing dense, aromatic smoke that fills the palate evenly. Its medium-long size ensures a steady, measured experience. No sudden bursts, no surprises. Just the confident, unwavering presence of a cigar that knows its character.

Not quite. This is a cigar for those who appreciate strength and nuance. A newcomer might find the initial intensity challenging, but for the experienced smoker, it is a masterclass in balance, complexity, and the signature Bolívar power. It teaches you to respect the leaf to slow down, to breathe, to savor. Those willing to rise to the occasion will be richly rewarded.

The opening is intense earthy tobacco and roasted coffee, with hints of cocoa. There’s a subtle peppery spice that quickly asserts itself, reminding you that Bolívar is not for the faint of heart. As the cigar develops, creamy cedar and a light sweetness emerge to balance the boldness, creating layers of flavor that shift as you progress. By the final third, rich leather and dark chocolate notes linger, leaving a deep, memorable finish. Every draw is an affirmation that this is a cigar built for connoisseurs.

For a cigar like this, you need a companion that matches its depth. Aged Cuban rum, bold single-malt whisky, or even a strong espresso will highlight its earth and cocoa notes. The setting? An evening where time is yours, ideally outdoors on a terrace, or indoors with soft lighting and a quiet hum of conversation. The Bolívar Coronas isn’t rushed it asks you to sit, reflect, and let its strength and complexity unfold at their own pace. Juan’s Closing ThoughtThe Bolívar Coronas is more than tobacco it’s a statement of Cuban craftsmanship and tradition. When you bring one home, you deserve it exactly as it left Havana: perfectly humidified, pristine, and ready to deliver an unforgettable experience. We handle every detail from careful storage to secure delivery so you can focus entirely on cutting, lighting, and savoring the moment. A Bolívar isn’t just smoked; it’s experienced. And the Coronas ensures that every puff reminds you why Cuban cigars are revered worldwide. Memory almost full

The Coronas is not a cigar that tries to impress it expects you to keep up. This is for the smoker who already knows what full-bodied means, who doesn’t flinch at strength but welcomes it. From the first draw, it delivers dark earth, espresso, and that unmistakable Bolívar depth serious, grounded, unapologetic. It’s a cigar for evenings with no distractions, when you can sit back and let the flavors unfold at their own pace. Light one, and you’ll understand it’s not rushing you; it’s inviting you to slow down.

This cigar asks for something with backbone. A well-aged Cuban-style rum, neat nothing overly sweet. Or a strong espresso, thick and aromatic. Even a peaty whisky can work, if you enjoy contrast. The Coronas doesn’t disappear next to a drink; it stands beside it. When cigar and glass meet as equals, the moment lingers a little longer.

The Coronas vitola allows focus. Less girth means the blend speaks more directly, more clearly. You get intensity without heaviness, structure without excess. It burns evenly, draws cleanly, and delivers flavor with precision like a well-tailored guayabera instead of a heavy coat. Sometimes, elegance isn’t about more it’s about exactly enough.

Vitola: Coronas (Parejo) | Size: 42 ring gauge × 142mm (5⅝″)

The Bolivar Coronas is a classic *Corona* vitola measuring 142mm in length with a slim 42 ring gauge, offering an experience that feels as though it belongs to another time. Wrapped in a smooth, slightly oily Colorado wrapper with a soft sheen and delicate veins, the cigar is visually modest, yet undeniably elegant. The cold draw presents notes of dried hay, cocoa husk, and a hint of black tea an understated prelude to a smoke rich in character.

Upon ignition, the first third opens with a bold yet balanced profile. The initial draw offers deep **earthy tones** damp soil and toasted cedar alongside subtle inflections of leather and spice. The smoke is medium-bodied, warming the palate slowly, like the first sip of aged rum after sunset.

As the cigar transitions into the second third, complexity builds. **Dark roasted coffee, sweet tobacco, and walnut skin** come to the fore, mingling with a touch of floral bitterness that adds depth and contrast. There’s a gentle crescendo in strength, but never aggression just an assured evolution in flavor.

The final third brings the profile into focus. **Charred wood, cracked pepper, and dry mineral earth** define the close, with occasional whispers of licorice and leather drifting through the smoke. The retrohale delivers a restrained spice, framing a long, contemplative finish that invites silence more than speech.

Though less robust than other Bolivar vitolas, the Coronas offers a more introspective experience refined, steady, and deeply satisfying for those who appreciate a traditional Cuban cigar in its purest form.

Pair it with a **soft Cuban espresso** or a pour of **single-column aged rum** for a harmonious encounter ideal for midday reflection or a quiet evening on the terrace.

The Bolivar Coronas is a reminder that strength isn’t always loud and that tradition, when respected, still has something new to teach us.
