Drink Pairings

• Bolívar Belicosos Finos:
  Aged dark rum (like Ron Zacapa 23 or Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva) highlights the cigar’s earthy and peppery notes. Peaty Islay Scotch whiskies (e.g., Lagavulin 16) amplify the spice and espresso undertones. For non-alcoholic options, a robust espresso or strong black coffee pairs beautifully.

• Bolívar Petit Coronas:
  Try a medium-bodied aged rum or a smooth single malt Scotch to complement the cigar’s toasted almond and sweet-spice nuances. Full-bodied red wines (Malbec or Syrah) also harmonize well with its earthiness. Coffee lovers will appreciate a rich ristretto alongside this cigar.

• Bolívar Royal Corona:
  Rich, warming Cognac or Armagnac pairs elegantly with the cigar’s leather and molasses tones. A bold red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon can match its intensity. Dark roast coffee or an espresso adds a perfect bitter-sweet balance to the smoke.

Food Pairings

• Bolívar Belicosos Finos:
  Grilled or roasted red meats (ribeye, lamb chops) echo the cigar’s robust earthiness. Aged Manchego or sharp cheddar bring out nutty and umami layers. Dark chocolate (70% or higher) enhances its cocoa and bittersweet notes.

• Bolívar Petit Coronas:
  Charcuterie selections like spiced chorizo, Jamón Ibérico, or smoked sausages highlight its savory spice. Roasted nuts and grilled vegetables add subtle texture contrasts. Pair with semi-aged cheeses such as Manchego or Gruyère.

• Bolívar Royal Corona:
  Richly spiced dishes (like mole or BBQ ribs) complement the cigar’s deep flavors. Hard cheeses such as aged Gouda or Parmesan elevate its complexity. Dark chocolate and coffee-flavored desserts also work beautifully as a sweet finish.

These pairings are designed to highlight the unique profiles of each cigar, turning your tasting into a full sensory experience

The History of Bolivar cigars

Simon Bolivar was one of the great historic figures of the 19th Century who liberated much of South America from Spanish rule.

The Bolivar cuban cigar brand was created in 1902 and is based today in the Partagas factory which is in the heart of Havana. 

It is perhaps not surprising that a Habano named after such a powerful figure is blended to match his might. Bolivar is among the strongest, most full bodied of all Habanos. It boasts an unrivalled richness of flavour in its blend of Vuelta Abajo zone filler and binder tobacco that makes it one of the most sought-after marques amongst experienced smokers. 

All sizes of Bolivar cigars are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano,’ – long filler, totally handmade. It is the brand of choice for enthusiasts who like strong flavours!
