11月19日，香港嘉里酒店，古巴2018年的全球限量版之一，玻利瓦尔的主权在发布会上和大家见面。这标志着在亚太区的首发。

这款玻利瓦尔的主权是54环径，5.5英寸，这个尺寸在古巴雪茄厂里被称为公爵，这是玻利瓦尔品牌第一次采用这个型号。

发布会是太平洋雪茄有限公司（Pacific Cigar Co. Ltd.）安排的，PCC是哈伯纳斯公司在亚太区的授权经销商。PCC分别在19号和20号安排了一次发布活动。

这款玻利瓦尔全球限量版采用滑盖木盒包装，每盒10支，目前整个亚太地区都有销售，每支雪茄建议零售价是438港币，折合56美元。目前还不知道世界其他地区何时上架。

2018年的第一款全球限量版，罗密欧与朱丽叶的塔克斯（Tacos）是9月份在西班牙首发。目前全球市场都在期待2018年的第三款全球限量版，乌普曼的普罗皮奥斯（Propios）。

If you’ve ever wondered what a Cuban Bolivar would taste like in a thick, heavy ring gauge, you can find out today—you’ll just have to go to Hong Kong. The Bolivar Soberano Edición Limitada was unveiled yesterday at a launch party at the Kerry Hotel in Hong Kong. It has also been released throughout the Asia Pacific region.

The Soberano is the second Edición Limitada cigar released for 2018, and measures 5 1/2 inches by 54 ring gauge. Referred to as Duke in Cuban cigar factories, this size has never been used for the Bolivar brand before now. 

The Bolivar had not one, but two launch parties—one yesterday and one today (Hong Kong time). The events were arranged by Pacific Cigar Co. Ltd., exclusive distributor of Cuban cigars for Habanos S.A. in the Asia Pacific region. 

Packaged in slide-lid, wooden boxes of 10, the Bolivar Soberanos are now available throughout the Asia Pacific territory for a suggested retail price of HK$438—that’s about $56 a cigar. There’s no official word on when the new Bolivars will start shipping to the rest of the world.

This release follows the Romeo y Julieta Tacos Edición Limitada 2018, which premiered in September in Spain with similar fanfare and is now available worldwide.

The global market still awaits the third Edicón Limitada for 2018—H. Upmann Propios.
