Every Bolivar Royal Coronas is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Founded in 1901 and named after Simón Bolívar, the liberator of South America, Bolivar built its reputation on sheer power. It is widely regarded as one of the fullest, most characterful marques in the entire Habanos portfolio, and the Royal Coronas is its flagship robusto: a stout 4.9 inches by a 50 ring gauge that packs remarkable depth into a one-hour smoke. In 2006 it was named the No. 1 Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado with a score of 94.
The Royal Coronas opens bold, with earthy leather, cocoa and a peppery kick. The middle third settles into rich coffee, dark wood and a touch of cedar, while the final third stays deep and powerful with a long, spicy finish. This is a full-bodied Cuban cigar from first light to last.
Bolivars are excellent fresh and mellow beautifully with three to five years of rest, trading raw power for refinement. Keep them at 65 to 70 percent humidity in a seasoned humidor; see our guide on how long cigars last.
The Royal Coronas is built for the experienced smoker who loves a strong, full-bodied Habano, ideally after a meal. If you prefer something gentler, browse the best Cuban cigars for beginners first.

Customer Reviews
Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Bolivar Bolivar Royal Coronas delivered on flavor (leather and wood) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.
The Bolivar Bolivar Royal Coronas is a quality corona. Nice balance of flavor and strength. I enjoyed the cocoa and pepper notes throughout. Construction was very good with only one minor touch-up needed. Good cigar for experienced smokers.
