BOLÍVAR HAMAKI 25' (REGIONAL EDITION JAPAN)

Bolívar Hamaki Edición Regional Japón is a legendary and milestone cigar in the history of Cuban cigars.

It is the first "Edición Regional" (Regional Edition) cigar specifically crafted for the Japanese market by Habanos S.A. in its history. Its name "Hamaki" is a transliteration of the Japanese word "葉巻 (hamaki, meaning cigar)", showcasing its rich Eastern cultural flavor. Presented in a classic Cabinet Box of 25, this cigar caused a buying frenzy among collectors across Asia and worldwide upon its release.

-Special Collection Value of This Cigar

• Historical Debut Status: Japan is a very mature and sophisticated cigar market in Asia, but it had never had an exclusive regional edition before. As the "groundbreaking first," Bolívar Hamaki's historical value and appreciation potential are highly regarded by countless collectors.

• Double Bands and Exclusive Packaging: In addition to the classic Bolívar portrait band, the cigar is also adorned with a red and silver double band symbolizing the regional edition, imprinted with "Exclusivo Japón" (Exclusive Japan).

• Elegant "Dobles" Size: It features a large size of 155mm x 50 ring gauge. Compared to the regular BRC (Bolívar Royal Corona), the Hamaki is longer, providing ample time and space for the tobacco flavors to slowly evolve during the smoking experience.

-Flavor Characteristics

As a member of the Bolívar family, Hamaki inherits the brand's powerful and wild spirit, but as a limited edition blended specifically for the Japanese market, it demonstrates an extremely refined Japanese sense of balance amidst its robustness:

• First Third: Upon lighting, one can immediately sense Bolívar's signature rich earthy, leathery, and slightly spicy black pepper aromas, with full-bodied and intense smoke.

• Middle Third: As it burns, the flavors become more subtle and layered. Roasted coffee beans, dark cocoa, and damp earth intertwine, with a subtle hint of unique char-grilled woody sweetness, powerful yet refined.

• Final Third: Entering the latter half, the flavors become even richer. The intense combination of dark chocolate, aged leather, and spices brings the sensory experience to a climax, with a mellow taste and a lingering finish in the mouth.

-Smoking and Storage Recommendations

• Excellent Aging Potential: As a large, full-bodied cigar, Bolívar Hamaki possesses excellent aging and maturation capabilities. New cigars might feel overly potent at first, so it is recommended to age them for 2 to 5 years or more in a controlled humidity environment (62% - 65% RH). Over time, its fiery tannins will transform into a smoother creaminess and sweet cocoa aroma, resulting in an exceptionally elegant flavor.
