Bolivar

Bolivar was founded in 1902 in La Habana and it was named after Simon Bolivar “El Libertador”. Its flavour and strength are remarkable, symbolising the values of Simon Bolivar. The tobacco comes from the Vuelta Abajo region in Cuba and it is one of the most demanded cuban cigars by cigar experts.

Characteristics

Due to its character, the Bolivar cigars are quite tricky to pair with a drink. Specially because of its strength. The same happens with Montecristo Cigars. Both brands are well known for being strong and ideal for expert cigar aficionados. You may want to choose something smooth to drink in order to control the strength of the Bolivar cigars. Or maybe you choose the opposite, and decide to pair it with a nice scotch or a cuban rum. If you have had any experience pairing a Bolivar, please let us know in the comments section.

Size

Another interesting fact is that Bolivar cigars tend to have big Ring Gauge. It is amazing to see how they always maintain the brand’s character and essence.

Always have in mind to take good care of your cigars. Please take into account that Bolivar cigars are thick and therefore easier to crack if the humidity goes low. Make sure you check your humidor everyday (65%-70%) and stable temperature (16º-18º)
