About the Bolívar Super Coronas 2014
The Bolívar Super Coronas 2014 is an Edición Limitada from one of Cuba’s most characterful marcas, a brand long associated with full-flavored, earthy smoking that takes its name from the South American liberator Simón Bolívar. Released as a limited run in 2014, this cigar carries the factory vitola Hermosos No.3, measuring 5.5 inches (140 mm) with a 48 ring gauge, and arrives in cabinet boxes of 25. The wrapper, like all Habanos limited editions of the era, was aged before rolling, lending the leaf a darker tone and a rounder, more settled character than a standard production Bolívar.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third is gentle for a Bolívar, leaning into cocoa and a soft fruitcake spice over a base of earthy Cuban tobacco. As the burn reaches the middle, the smoke warms and deepens, bringing forward darker chocolate, milky coffee and a clear woody note that many tasters read as oak. The final third turns creamier still, with a peanut-like richness and a thread of maple sweetness joining leather, earth and a touch of anise, so the cigar finishes warm and rounded rather than aggressive.
Pairings
- A short, intense espresso to echo the coffee and dark cocoa in the middle third.
- An aged Cuban or Caribbean rum, whose molasses sweetness flatters the maple and creamy notes.
- A lightly peated or honeyed single malt for those who prefer the woody, leathery side of the profile.
Aging and storage
This is a cigar that rewards patience. Keep it at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius in a well seasoned humidor, and the already mellowed limited edition leaf continues to integrate over the years. Time tends to push the cocoa toward a sweeter, more polished character while softening any remaining green or spicy edges from the early third, so a box left to rest a few seasons often smokes more harmoniously than one opened on arrival.
Who it is for
The Super Coronas 2014 suits the smoker who enjoys the Bolívar house style but wants it in a more refined, medium-bodied dress. It is approachable enough for an unhurried daytime cigar, yet layered enough to hold the attention of an experienced palate, and the limited edition status makes it a natural pick for collectors who like to lay boxes down and watch them develop.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Bolívar Super Coronas 2014 a strong cigar?
No, it is best described as medium bodied. While Bolívar is famous for power, this Edición Limitada is notably more delicate and rounded, with clear cocoa, coffee and woody notes rather than overwhelming strength.
What size is the Super Coronas 2014?
It is the Hermosos No.3 vitola, 5.5 inches (140 mm) long with a 48 ring gauge, presented in boxes of 25 cigars.
Why is it called an Edición Limitada?
Habanos released it in 2014 as a limited edition, meaning a single production run using specially aged wrapper leaf rather than an ongoing catalogue line, which is part of why these cigars are sought after by collectors.

The Bolívar Super Coronas 2014 is a respectable corona. Nice notes of cedar and spice, decent construction. However, I found it a bit one-dimensional compared to other Bolivar offerings. Not bad, but there are better options in this price range.

Excellent corona from Bolivar. The Bolívar Super Coronas 2014 has a refined flavor profile – lots of cocoa and pepper. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 82 minutes. Only minor complaint is it’s slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.
