What size and vitola is the Bolívar Emiratos Edición Regional UAE 2010?

The Bolívar Emiratos measures 5.5 inches (140mm) with a 50 ring gauge, classified as a Robusto Extra or Edmundo format. This substantial size provides approximately 60-75 minutes of smoking time. The cigar features the classic Bolívar band with an additional silver and burgundy Edición Regional band indicating "Emiratos Arabes Unidos." Only 2,000 numbered boxes of 25 were produced, making it one of the more limited regional releases from that era.

What are the flavor profile and strength of the Bolívar Emiratos regional edition?

This release delivers the full-bodied character typical of the Bolívar marca, with pronounced notes of earth, cedar, and leather balanced by subtle cocoa and coffee undertones. The UAE climate influenced aging conditions, contributing to a slightly sweeter, more rounded profile than standard production Bolívars. Expect a medium-full to full strength progression, with the final third intensifying into pepper and dark chocolate. Construction quality remains consistent with 2010-era Cuban standards.

How does the Bolívar Emiratos 2010 compare to other Edición Regional releases?

The Emiratos distinguishes itself through its exclusivity and aging potential. Unlike more widely distributed regionals from larger markets, the UAE's limited allocation preserved scarcity. Compared to contemporaneous releases like the Bolívar Británicas, the Emiratos shares similar blending philosophy but offers a slightly more refined draw due to its Edmundo format. Current secondary market values reflect its desirability, trading significantly above original retail pricing. Collectors particularly seek well-stored examples for their developed complexity.
