The Bolivar brand of cigars is one of the most famous brands of Cuban cigars,
first introduced in 1901 by Jose F. Rocha but wasn�t actually registered in
Havana until 1921. The name comes from the famous South-American revolutionary,
Simon Bolivar, who liberated countries such as Venezuela, Columbia, Peru and
Bolivia. After Rocha�s death, the company was taken over by Cifuentes y Cia and
production was moved to the Partagas Factory in Havana.
Bolivar cigars have the reputation of being stronger and more full-bodied with a
perfect construction and consistency; therefore tend to be preferred by the more
experienced smoker. Bolivar were producing a range of hand-made and machine-made
cigars using Vuelta Abajo tobacco up until Altadis bought a controlling share in
Habanos SA when all but the cigarillo sized chicos were cut from the
machine-made line. This was due to the idea that Cuban cigar brands should
either make hand-made OR machine-made cigars rather than both.
Today, the Bolivar brand continues to produce a large range of hand-rolled
cigars including 2012 UK regional edition the
Bolivar Britanicas.
