Bolívar Tubos No. 1

The Tubos No. 1 is Bolívar's Corona in an aluminum tube, which makes it the travel-friendly member of the family. The tube keeps the cigar at humidity and protected in a jacket pocket, so this is the one to slip into your bag when you're heading out and can't bring a humidor.

What it tastes like

This is a true Corona at 42 ring gauge and 5.6 inches, and it smokes medium-full with the earthy, classic Bolívar character: cedar, coffee and leather over an earthy base, with a peppery lift on the finish. The corona format is widely considered the size that shows a blend most honestly, and this is a clean, well-balanced read of the Havana profile across about an hour.

Who it's for

Great for experienced smokers who want Cuban flavor on the go without babysitting a fragile cigar. If you don't own a humidor yet, the tube buys you time — and so does the how to store cigars without a humidor guide. To understand the house style, read Cuban vs Nicaraguan.

Pair it with coffee, an aged rum, or a red wine. Keep track of your tubos in the Casa DNC app. Prefer a shorter tubed smoke? The Tubos No. 2 is the petit corona version.
