About this cigar
Bolívar Royal Coronas — tasting notes and pricing context
The Royal Coronas is the Bolívar most aficionados recommend as the brand's entry vitola — a 4.9-inch robusto with the brand's signature unapologetically forceful blend, but in the most accessible 60-minute format. Bolívar is the strong man of the Habanos catalogue, named after South American liberator Simón Bolívar, produced at the Partagás factory in Havana, and the Royal Coronas is the SKU that most often introduces smokers to the brand's leather-and-pepper register.
The smoke opens with intensity. First third delivers black pepper, dark earth and a touch of leather; the middle settles into espresso, dark chocolate and aged cedar; the last third blooms into a long, dense finish with cocoa and wood. Smoking time runs 60 to 75 minutes. The Royal Coronas is also one of the wider price-spread Bolívar SKUs across Europe: Noblego runs around €440 per box of 25, the UK's C.Gars / Turmeaus £415 (~€495), Switzerland's Cigarmust CHF 495 (~€520 after FX). The €80 absolute spread is moderate but the Royal Coronas restocks often, which means comparison-shopping pays off — and the cigar ages exceptionally well, so a box bought cheap and humidor'd for three years rewards the patience.
