Bolivar
Year of foundation: 1927
Tobacco Country: Cuba
Tobacco Procedence: Vuelta Abajo
Factory: Partagas
Named after the famous Simón Bolívar (1783-1830), the Venezuelan General who liberated large parts of South America from the Spanish Empire in the 19th century, the brand itself was established at the beginning of the 20th century in Havana, Cuba by José F. Rocha. Following the founder’s death, the brand was bought by the Cifuentes y Cia and transferred the production to the Partagás factory, where most of Bolivar cigars are still rolled until today. There is also a Dominican Bolivar cigar brand that was started after the Cuban revolution. However, the original brand is Cuban Bolivar that is mentioned here. Bolivar is mostly known for rolling among the strongest Habanos in Cuba, using tobacco from the premium Vuelta Abajo region. Its most famous cigars are the Bolivar Royal Coronas, Bolivar Belicosos Finos, Bolivar Petit Coronas and the Bolivar Libertador.

Bolivar New Gold Medal LCDH - 10 cigars
$699.00The Bolivar New Gold Medal LCDH is a 2023 La Casa Del Habano exclusive release. A Grand Corona of 6½” (165mm) by 48 ring gauge, and comes in a box of 10 cigars wrapped in gold foil. Sharing the same vitola as the Montecristo No.1 (Cervantes), the Bolivar Gold Medal was initially discontinued in 1992. However, it made a comeback in 2004 exclusively for La Casa Del Habano Germany, with only 1000 boxes produced. In 2007, it was re-released as a La Casa Del Habano exclusive but was later discontinued in 2011. In 2023, a new version was introduced—the New Gold Medal. While maintaining the same length as its predecessor, it now boasts a larger ring gauge, adopting the Partagas 15 vitola, similar to the Ramon Allones Imperiales. According to Habanos S.A., the Bolívar New Gold Medal is hailed as one of the finest Habanos in the current selection, renowned for its full flavor, strength, and body. Its distinctive earthy essence is a defining feature, complemented by spicy, fruity, and roasted tobacco notes. The amalgamation of these nuanced flavors has elevated it to the status of a new cult favorite among Habanos enthusiasts. Observations while smoking: Starts off light initially but gradually intensifies. Exhibits the robust strength characteristic of Bolivar cigars. Displays promising potential for aging.
