Construction and Presentation

Each cigar in the Las Tres Coronas Selección was entirely handmade, reflecting the artisanal craftsmanship that distinguishes premium Cuban cigars. The cigars featured Bolívar's standard band A, the classic presentation that collectors and enthusiasts immediately recognize.

The collection was housed in a boîte nature box containing 50 cigars total—a natural wood presentation that allowed the cigars to breathe and age gracefully while showcasing their elegant appearance.

Historical Significance

This special release dates back to the pre-1960 era, placing it among the earlier expressions of the Bolívar portfolio. The Las Tres Coronas Selección remained in production until the mid-1980s, when it was ultimately discontinued. Today, surviving boxes represent genuine collector's items, offering a glimpse into Cuban cigar history and the enduring legacy of the Bolívar marque.
