Bolivar Belicosos Finos SLB – Box of 25 Cuban Cigars
The Bolivar Belicosos Finos SLB (Box of 25) is one of Cuba’s most iconic full-bodied cigars, loved by seasoned aficionados for its depth, power, and unmistakable Cuban character. Hand-rolled in Havana using the finest Vuelta Abajo long-filler, this Belicoso delivers bold, earthy complexity from the first draw to the final puff.
From the cold draw, expect notes of rich soil, leather, cedar, cocoa, and floral hints. Once lit, the first third opens with black pepper, dark earth, bitter chocolate, and thick, creamy smoke. Espresso and toasted nut tones appear early, while the retrohale adds a spicy kick balanced by dried fruit.
The second third becomes smoother and more layered, revealing molasses, deeper cocoa richness, charred oak, dried fig, and roasted coffee. Strength rises steadily but remains beautifully balanced, supported by excellent construction, even burn, and an effortless draw.
In the final third, intensity returns with bold espresso, deep earthiness, anise, dark wood, and a subtle umami note near the nub. The finish is long, refined, and unmistakably Cuban — a true showcase of Bolivar’s legendary strength and craftsmanship.
Perfect after a meal and exceptional when paired with aged rum or a peaty Scotch, the Belicosos Finos is a cigar that rewards slow, attentive smoking.
WHY CABINET SELECTION (SLB)?
Bolivar Belicosos Finos come in both dress boxes and cedar cabinet boxes. The Cabinet Selection (SLB) ages differently due to looser packing and greater cedar exposure. Over time, cabinet cigars develop a smoother, rounder, and more aromatic profile, making them the connoisseur’s choice. Cedar enhances complexity, promotes even aging, and makes the cigars more collectible.
THE HISTORY OF BOLIVAR CIGARS
Named after Simon Bolivar, the legendary liberator of South America, the brand was founded in 1902 and is produced today in the famous Partagás Factory in Havana. Known for their strength, Bolivar cigars are among the most robust, full-bodied Habanos, offering unmatched richness from their Vuelta Abajo tobacco blend. All cigars are “tripa larga, totalmente a mano” — long filler, totally handmade.
