Bolivar Coronas Gigantes Cigar Review
By Micah | June 15, 2007
I am new to the Bolivar brand, I received a box of Coronas Gigantes a little while back and now I’m cracking into it.
Nearly perfect construction, I am truly amazed that this cigar was made my human hands, a real work of art. I have never seen a cigar that was flawless in manufactur until now. The cigar has a nice box press with a fairly dark color, about the shade of milk chocolate. The cigar seems much longer that a churchill, there is a very slight taper which is visually enhanced while smoking.
The flavor on this cigar is right in your face, right away. The flavor is not spicy at all but is just a very well rounded smoke. I smoked a few in the last couple of days and I can say definitively that this is a cigar for the evening. Its richness is brought out by liquor. The flavor overall is very smooth and goes well with something to kick it up a notch. I had one after a spicy meal and the flavor is very soothing after a habenero salsa. I would not say this is my favorite cigar, but I will certainly keep a box of these on hand. I can’t think of a more well rounded Cuban cigar, although this cigar is not especially exciting it is very high quality and is great when you just want a damn good Cuban.
P.S. The manufacturing is so good that the ring can be easily removed without any issues at all.
