The Soberanos Limited Edition 2018 is a prestigious release that exemplifies the pinnacle of Cuban cigar craftsmanship. As a limited edition, this cigar was produced in a restricted quantity, emphasizing both rarity and high quality. The 2018 release showcases a masterful blend of aged tobaccos, reflecting the heritage and tradition of Cuban cigar making while offering a unique smoking experience.
After a bit more than four years of resting (box date July 2018), enjoyed my first Soberano back in 2022 during my holiday in the UAE. The look & feel of the cigar is really amazing, dark oily wrapper with an intense pleasant smell. First puffs with a lot of coffee, combined with dark chocolate and the Bolivar typically citrus flavours. Strength-wise the cigar started medium and transitioned in the second half to a full body. IMO with some additional aging this cigar will be a real gem…
Cigar start to develop its character after a few years

228. Bolivar Soberano Edicion Limitada 2018
2018-12-06/ ANDREDIAS95
Store bought at Mellgrens Fine Tobacco.
Location: This review was made indoors in a cigar lounge.
Wrapper: Milk chocolate, oily and smooth with tiny veins.
Construction: Firm but still a little giving when lightly squeezed.
Cold draw: Cedarwood note.
1st third: Starts with a light tone of cedarwood, unsalted almonds and wheat biscuits.
2nd third: Keeps the same smooth flavours from part one.
The burn: Burns steady and uneven, gray-ish stable and firm ash.
Smoke: Voluminous gray smoke with a medium heat feel on the tongue and light draw.
3rd third: Flavour wise it the same as before, but with a spicier black pepper note on the lips and in the roof of the mouth.
Conclusion: A medium bodied cigar with a medium strength profile. This cigar goes in the profile that Bolivar used to taste like, the latest years it has become mild so this was refreshing.
Result: In my book this is an 89 point cigar.
