At C.Gars LTD you will find the full range available in the UK including the Belicoso Fino, Royal Corona and Coronas J.

History of Bolivar Cigars

The Bolivar brand was founded surprisingly in Britain in 1901 by Jose F. Rocha although the brand was not registered in Havana until 1921 by Rochas firm J.F. Rocha y Cia. The name Bolivar comes from the famous South-American revolutionary, Simon Bolivar, who liberated countries such as Venezuela, Columbia, Peru and Bolivia. After Rochas death in 1954, the company was taken over by Cifuentes y Cia and production was moved to the famous Partagas Factory in Havana. When Fidel Castro rose to control Cuba, no large cigar company managed to escape nationalisation. Bolivars owners as well as many others flocked to the Dominican Republic to re-launch their cigars. For the Cifuentes family, Dominican Republic Bolivar failed to gain popularity. The true quality of Bolivar Cigars remains in Cuba.
