General Information
Originating from Cuba, the Bolívar Petit Libertador is a hand - made short robusto introduced in 2008. It has a size of 102 x 19.84 mm and an official weight of 9.59g. The price is 9.50 € per piece.
Appearance
It has a rustic look with a major vein running through a colorado claro wrapper. A double band indicates it's a limited edition. Appearance is rated 4/5.
Construction
It's a bit loose near the foot but well - packed otherwise. The pre - light smell is sour. Cutting and lighting were easy, the draw was tight but comfortable, and it burned well. Construction is rated 4/5.
Flavor
- First Third: Upon lighting, there's a strong presence of red and black pepper. It's powerful and full - bodied.
- Second Third: Woody flavors appear, similar to those in Bolivar Royal Coronas. There are also leather and hints of ammonia, suggesting the cigar may be too young.
- Last Third: It's quite heavy and pairs well with a drink like cognac or whisky.
Flavor is rated 4/5.
Value
It's considered overpriced, with at least 2 euros paid for the regional edition band. Value is rated 2.5/5.
Overall, the Bolívar Petit Libertador is not a bad cigar but didn't meet high expectations, raising doubts about regional editions.
