Bolivar Petit Coronas

The Bolívar Petit Coronas is a legendary Cuban cigar, celebrated for its robust character, rich complexity and impeccable craftsmanship. Hand‑rolled in Havana using select tobaccos from the prestigious Vuelta Abajo region – considered by many to be Cuba’s finest cigar‑tobacco terroir – this Mareva‑sized cigar measures 5 1/8" × 42 and delivers a full‑bodied, intense smoking experience that suits seasoned aficionados looking for depth and power in a compact format. Designed to offer the classic Bolívar profile in a shorter smoke, it combines deep, earthy richness with layers of cocoa, spice and wood, making it an ideal choice for those who want a serious, flavour‑driven Habano when time is limited but they refuse to compromise on character.

About Bolivar Cigars

Founded in the early 1900s by José F. Rocha and named after Simón Bolívar, the brand quickly built a reputation for producing some of the strongest and most characterful cigars in Cuba, beloved by aficionados who favour depth and power over delicacy. During its early years Bolívar even created the tiny Delgado, at the time the world’s smallest cigar, a novelty that famously appeared in miniature form in the royal dollhouse at Windsor Castle and has since become part of cigar folklore. Today the brand is rolled in Havana using rich Vuelta Abajo tobaccos and is widely regarded as one of Habanos’ boldest, most full‑bodied marques, with iconic vitolas such as the Petit Coronas, Royal Corona and Belicosos Finos showcasing its unmistakably intense house style.
