Few cigars capture the essence of a specific market like the Bolívar Tiempo, a distinguished addition to the Regional Edition Series crafted exclusively for France. This exceptional Cuban cigar showcases the Geniales vitola, a special release format that brings something fresh to the Bolívar portfolio while honoring the brand's reputation for bold, full-flavored smoking experiences.
Vitola and Dimensions
The Tiempo features the Geniales shape, measuring a substantial 150mm (5⅞ inches) in length with a generous 54 ring gauge. This robust format provides ample smoking time and allows the complex Bolívar flavor profile to develop fully throughout the experience. Each cigar carries an official weight of 15.23 grams, reflecting the dense, expertly constructed filler within.
Construction and Presentation
Every Bolívar Tiempo is entirely handmade in Cuba, maintaining the exacting standards expected of Regional Edition releases. The cigar displays the standard Bolívar band C alongside a distinctive Regional Edition band specifically designed for France, marked with "Francia" to denote its exclusive distribution territory.
Release Details
Although officially designated as a 2017 release, the Bolívar Tiempo reached retailers in early 2018. Production was strictly limited to 6,000 numbered dress boxes, each containing 10 cigars. This limited quantity ensures the Tiempo remains a sought-after addition for collectors and enthusiasts of the Bolívar marque.
