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.
Bolivar has only been selected on two previous occasions to be Habanos Limited Edition. This was the Petit Belicosos in 2009 and the Super Coronas in 2014. Therefore the Soberano is a welcome addition for lovers of this full bodied, robust brand.
The cigars are presented in SLB boxes of 10 and measure 5 1/2” (140mm) x 54 ring gauge . This vitola is known in the factories of Cuba as a “Duke” and was originally made famous by the much-loved 2009 Limited Edition Romeo y Julieta Duke.
“Sovereign “ is the literal translation of Soberano and this wide girth, full-bodied cigar seems a suitable powerful treasure to bear such a regal name.
Limited Edition cigars are made from specially selected tobacco leaves that have all been aged for a minimum of two years.
