Gran Republica is the fuller Bolivar, built on Nicaraguan tobacco under a darker wrapper. Three sizes, all thick, none of them subtle.
Black pepper, espresso and a heavy earth note, with an oily wrapper that produces a dense smoke. Bolivar has always been the strong end of the traditional brand names, and this stays true to that.
