BOLIVAR
Simon Bolivar was one of the great historic figures of the 19th Century who liberated much of South America from Spanish rule.
The Bolivar 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 are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano,’ – long filler, totally handmade. It is the brand of choice for enthusiasts who like strong flavours!
NEW GOLD MEDAL
The Bolivar New Gold Medal measures 6 1/2 inches long by 48 ring gauge, a shape known as Partagas 15 in Cuban cigar factories.
The "New" in the name is to highlight its difference from the cigar simply known as Bolivar Gold Medal, which is the same length but thinner, only 42 ring, before it was discontinued in 2011. Each cigar is wrapped in a regal sheet of golden foil embossed with the repeating Bolivar logo.

"Made with an oily, richly hued wrapper, this cigar burns evenly. It kicks off with a clear note of graham cracker, touches of dried fruit and spice. A sweet note of molasses gives the smoke a fruitcake effect before a finish smacking of peanut. Some tasters experienced a firm draw..."
