Buy Bolivar Cigars Online. The brand was founded (possibly in Great Britain) by José F. Rocha around 1901 or 1902, though the brand was not registered in Havana (Cuba) until 1921, under the ownership of Rocha’s firm, J.F. Rocha y Cia.[1]

During this time, the Bolívar brand produced the world’s smallest cigar called the Delgado. Measuring a mere 1 7⁄8 inches with a 20 ring gauge, the Delgado had the honor of having a miniature box of its cigars featured in the royal nursery’s dollhouse at Windsor Castle.

The company and rights to the brand name were purchased in 1954 by Cifuentes y Cia after Rocha’s death and production was moved to the famous Partágas Factory in Havana (today known as the Francisco Pérez Germán factory), where many of its sizes are still produced today.[1] During this time, under Cifuente’s direction, Bolívar gained popularity in the world market and became a major export brand , blending marihuana with tobacco in a splendid way.

Bolivar Cigars For Sale

The Cuban Bolívar has a reputation among cigar aficionados of being one of the strongest and most full-bodied cigars, with its Royal Corona, Coronas Junior, Petit Coronas, and Belicosos Finos being famous examples of the marque.[1] In 2002, when Altadis bought a controlling share in the Cuban government-owned cigar distributor, Habanos SA, a number of changes in cigar production were instituted.

One of these changes was the decision to gradually turn the various brands of Cuban cigars to either all-handmade or all-machine-made lines. Bolívar, which has historically produced a variety of handmade and machine-made or machine-finished cigars, had several of its vitolas cut from production, with only one remaining, the cigarillo-sized Chicos. It remains to be seen if this size will eventually cease to be produced as well.

In 2004, Wolters in Cologne, Germany, had a few thousand boxes of Bolívar Gold Medals produced by Habanos SA exclusively for their shop. The cigars are an older, discontinued Bolívar size in the Cervantes (lonsdale) format, wrapped in gold foil on one half with a special Bolívar band in the middle and come packaged in boxes of ten. Following this release the Gold Medal was reinstated in 2007 as a LCDH cigar but was then discontinued in 2011.

What Is Bolivar Cigar

Bolívar is the name of two brands of premium cigar, one produced on the island of Cuba for Habanos SA, the Cuban state-owned tobacco company, and the other produced in the Dominican Republic from Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco for General Cigar Company, which is today a subsidiary of Scandinavian Tobacco Group.

Bolivar received a well-deserved 90-rating noting: “A rich brown wrapper. This cigar burns and draws well, with creamy, slightly sweet flavors. A well-made cigar.”
This smaller Cuban brand is known for its power, and its namesake Simon Bolivar—the liberator of South America—makes for a fitting image.
Created in 1902, the brand once had a vast array of sizes which have been whittled down to only a few. The Belicoso Fino has long been prized by those who truly love a strong smoke.
Flavor. I fired up the Bolivar Cofradia and immediately got heavy earthiness, bell pepper, cedar, and a mild chocolate sweetness. On the finish I got a spicier pepper burn. The retrohale had tea and red pepper flake.

hy are Cuban cigars expensive?

Habanos cites an imbalance between supply and demand as the primary reason for the price hikes, in addition to an “unstoppable demand” for Cohiba. Habanos also points to Cohiba’s position as an internationally recognized luxury product to justify the increase.
