Bolívar Short Bolivar Edición Regional Asia Pacifico Review

• Brand Name: Bolívar Short Bolivar
• Length: 110mm (4⅜″)
• Ring: 52
• Score: 4/5

Introduction

The Bolívar Short Bolivar Edición Regional Asia Pacifico is a hand - made Cuban cigar introduced in 2008. It has a short edmundo format with dimensions of 110 x 21 mm (4.3 x 52) and an official weight of 10.76g, priced at $12 each.

Appearance

Despite wrapper imperfections, the overall presentation is good. It has a triple cap that comes off easily. Well - rolled, it's slightly softer near the foot and has a sweet, strong tobacco smell.

Construction

It's beautifully constructed, but has an uneven burn. It produces a large amount of smoke and has a fine draw.

Flavor

• First third: A powerful pull brings fresh nicotine, making the tongue and nostrils tingle. There's a lot of black pepper, along with notes of toasted bread, roasted coffee, and wood. The smoke is thick and buttery.
• Second third: Toasted and roasted notes dominate. There's less pepper and more wood. It's medium - to full - bodied with a long finish.

Value

At $12 each, it's not a cheap cigar even by Cuban standards. It may be worth it considering rarity, the second band, and ageing potential, especially for collectors.

I'd like to thank FinestCubanCigars.com for providing these cigars. They've been shipping Cuban cigars from Hong Kong at competitive prices for over 10 years.
