{"product_id":"bolivar-gold-medal-cuban-cigar-the-cigar-room","title":"Bolivar Gold Medal | Cuban Cigar | La Casa del Habano","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBolivar Gold Medal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome cigars carry a reputation. The Bolivar Gold Medal carries a legend. Named after Simón Bolívar the 19th-century Venezuelan revolutionary who liberated six South American countries from Spanish rule Bolivar is widely considered the fullest-flavoured of all Cuban cigar brands. The Gold Medal is its standard-bearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original predated the Cuban Revolution of 1959 and has been in and out of production ever since. The current version maintains the same 6½ inch length as the classic but brings a broader 48 ring gaugegiving you a slower, deeper burn and the kind of complexity that comes from a denser tobacco column. This is a serious cigar for the experienced smoker. It rewards patience and a quiet hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is exactly what you'd expect from a Habanos S.A. vitola made entirely by hand with long filler \u003cem\u003etripa larga, totalmente a mano\u003c\/em\u003e. The Colorado wrapper is smooth and well-pressed, and the draw is open and even from the first light. Each cigar arrives individually dressed in a sheet of gold foil embossed with the Bolivar name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlavour-wise, the first third opens with rich earth and cedar, with a layer of dark cocoa and leather underneath. As the cigar warms, dried fruit and a touch of molasses emerge  complex without ever becoming sharp. The finish is long, with roasted nut and a gentle black pepper that lingers. Full-bodied throughout, but never one-dimensional. This is Cuban tobacco at its most confident.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolivar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cuba (Habanos S.A.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVitola:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partagás 15 (Grand Corona)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 165mm (6½ inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Gauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWrapper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cuban Colorado, Vuelta Abajo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmoking Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~60 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Casa del Habano exclusive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e £60.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold as:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single cigar [confirm box quantity before publishing]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich earth and cedar on the first third\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark cocoa, leather and dried fruit through the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolasses and roasted nut on the mid section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong finish of black pepper and sweet wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStore at 65–70% relative humidity.
