Viva Bolivar!
In a heroic tradition all its own, Bolivar is the bold cigar that pays tribute to Simon Bolivar, the great liberator who led the wars of independence in the nations we know today as Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.
The Rocha Company introduced the Bolivar brand in 1901 in Havana, Cuba. Beginning in the 1950s, Ramón Cifuentes, the cigar master of Partagas, began to manufacture the Bolivar brand. As a result of its
Cifuentes connection, General Cigar Dominicana crafts Bolivar cigars today in the Dominican Republic. With filler leaf from the Dominican Republic and two regions of Nicaragua, and its San Agustin Ligero wrapper, this is a full-body and bold smoke. General Cigar even touts it as being "noble," whatever that means.
