This exceptional cigar showcases tobacco leaf harvested exclusively in 2016, allowing for extended aging that deepens complexity and refines the smoking experience. As part of the revered Reserva series, this release represents the pinnacle of Cuban cigar craftsmanship, where only the finest aged tobaccos earn the distinguished Reserva designation.

Construction and Blend
Each cigar is entirely hand-rolled using tobacco harvested during the 2016 growing season. This single-vintage approach ensures remarkable consistency throughout the production run while allowing connoisseurs to experience the distinctive character of that specific harvest year. The extended aging period between harvest and release has allowed the tobaccos to marry harmoniously, resulting in a refined smoking profile that showcases Bolívar's signature full-bodied character with added sophistication.

Bands and Presentation

The Belicosos Finos Reserva Cosecha 2016 features the standard Bolívar band (Band C) alongside a secondary Reserva band, clearly distinguishing this limited release from regular production offerings. The dual-band presentation signals the cigar's elevated status within the Bolívar lineup.
Habanos S.A. produced a total of 5,000 numbered boxes for this release. Each cigar comes housed in an elegant black lacquered boîte nature box containing 20 cigars. The numbered packaging adds collectible appeal and ensures authenticity for discerning purchasers.

Release Information

Although designated as a 2020 release, the Bolívar Belicosos Finos Reserva Cosecha 2016 reached the global market in early 2021. This timing allowed for optimal maturation of the 2016 harvest before distribution, ensuring smokers received cigars at their peak potential.
