Bolivar has been making fantastic full-bodied Cuban cigars since their introduction in 1901.
Bolivar cigars are famed for their perfect construction and consistency, as well as bold flavours and strength, making them the ideal choice for more experienced smokers.
Made using Ligero leaves (a type of tobacco leaf found near the top of each tobacco plant), Bolivar cigars offer a potent and spicy smoke that’s perfect for those who value cigars with bold flavour profiles.
History of Bolivar Cigars
The Bolivar brand was established in 1901 by José F. Rocha and later acquired by the Cifuentes family in 1954. Named after the famous South American liberator, Simón Bolívar, these cigars embody strength and boldness, much like their namesake. Bolivar Cigars are Cuban cigars crafted in Cuba by Habanos S.A.
The brand has a storied history, intertwined with the cultural and political landscapes of Cuba. Post-Cuban Revolution, the brand continued to grow under the state-run Habanos S.A., maintaining its reputation for producing some of the most powerful cigars in the Cuban portfolio.
What Do Bolivar Cigars Taste Like?
Bolivar Cigars are known for their rich, full-bodied flavours, making them a favourite among seasoned cigar aficionados. Smokers can expect notes of earth, leather, spice, and cocoa. There is a consistent undercurrent of robust tobacco taste, often accompanied by a creamy texture and a hint of sweetness on the finish.
Bolivar predominantly offers short to medium-sized, hand-rolled cigars that we all know and love, such as the Bolivar Royal Corona Cigar.
Smoking a Bolivar cigar is a journey through rich, nuanced flavours that evolve throughout the smoking experience. Expect a powerful start that mellows into a deep, rewarding middle and a robust finish. The complexity makes them ideal for pairing with dark spirits like aged rum or whiskey, enhancing the cigar’s natural spiciness and earthiness.
