• Ring: 54
• Score: 3.75/5

General Information

The Bolívar Poderosos is a hand - made double pyramid cigar from Cuba, released in 2013. It comes in a box code MUR OCT2013, and each cigar costs around $20.

Appearance

The cigar has a rich brown color, minimal spines, and no blooming. It's neither too firm nor too loose. The packaging is clever, fitting 25 larger - sized smokes in a normal hinged box.

Construction

There are few construction problems. The wrapper may separate when clipping near the bands. Lighting is fairly easy with a bit of restricted draw. The burn is sometimes inconsistent but self - corrects.

Flavor

• One third: It starts with a moderate, peat - like note with little aftertaste, and this note lasts throughout.
• Two thirds: It offers the expected earth tones of a good habano, but lacks taste complexity. The tones remain stable.
• Three thirds: The taste stays the same as in the previous parts, and the last stick performs like the first.

Value

It offers good value for money. A 54 - ring cigar with 180mm length packs more flavor than some well - known brands.

The Bolívar Poderosos meets expectations, providing the standards of a Cuban torpedo with some pleasant surprises.
