HISTORY
Simon Bolívar was one of the great historic figures of the 19th Century who liberated much of South America from Spanish rule. The Bolívar brand was created in 1902 and is based today at the Partagás factory in the heart of Havana. It is perhaps not surprising that a Havana brand named after such a powerful figure is blended to match his might.
Bolívar is among the strongest, most full-bodied of all Havanas. It boasts an unrivalled richness of flavour in its blend of Vuelta Abajo filler and binder tobaccos that makes it one of the most sought-after marques amongst experienced smokers. It is the brand of choice for enthusiasts who like strong flavours.
All sizes of Bolívar are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.
TASTING NOTES
A rich, full-bodied cigar that starts with notes of strong espresso and black pepper that develops with additional tasting notes of salinity, charred oak and leather.
A great pairing alongside a peated Scotch whisky or an aged dark rum.
