A Heritage of Strength and Tradition
Founded in 1902 and named after Simón Bolívar, the great South American liberator, this brand has long been admired by seasoned cigar enthusiasts.

Tobacco, Soil and Craftsmanship
Bolívar cigars are rolled with tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Río, the heartland of Cuban cigar production. This region’s mineral-rich soil and ideal microclimate create leaves with exceptional strength and complexity.
Each cigar is crafted entirely by hand, ensuring the perfect draw, even burn and consistency expected from one of Cuba’s most iconic names.
