Every Bolivar Petit Belicosos 2009 Limited Edition is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Bolivar has built its reputation on uncompromising strength, and the Petit Belicosos 2009 Limited Edition is one of the boldest expressions of that legacy. Released as part of the prestigious Edicion Limitada program, this vitola was rolled with darker, more matured wrappers and tobacco aged for at least two years before boxing. The result is a compact pyramid that punches well above its size, presented in boxes of 25 and prized by enthusiasts who hunt down aged Cuban limited editions.
The opening third leans into classic Bolivar muscle, with woody and spicy notes layered over a faint maduro sweetness from the aged wrapper. As you move into the middle, the smoke turns earthier and rounder, soft chocolate and coffee tones surfacing alongside a touch of leather. The final third is where this cigar shows its full bodied character, returning to deep earth and toasted wood while peppery spice lingers in the background. Hints of cedar and cocoa thread through the entire experience, keeping it complex rather than one dimensional.
Although the tobacco was already matured before release, this is a cigar that rewards patience in the humidor. Hold it at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius, and the youthful pepper will mellow over the years while the cedar and cocoa notes grow more pronounced. Given its limited edition status and dwindling supply, many collectors choose to set boxes aside rather than smoke them quickly.
This release suits the experienced smoker who appreciates a full bodied Cuban and does not have the better part of two hours to dedicate to a larger format. The petit pyramid shape concentrates the smoke and tapers the burn, so you get intensity and complexity in a session of roughly 45 minutes to an hour. Newcomers to Cuban tobacco may find the strength demanding, but for seasoned palates and collectors it is a genuine treat.

Customer Reviews
The Bolivar Bolivar Petit Belicosos 2009 Limited Edition is a quality petit corona. Nice balance of flavor and strength. I enjoyed the honey and tobacco notes throughout. Construction was very good with only one minor touch-up needed. Good cigar for experienced smokers.
Decent petit corona but not my favorite from Bolivar. The Bolivar Petit Belicosos 2009 Limited Edition has good flavor - cedar and spice - but didn't wow me like other Cubans I've had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It's good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.
