Cuban Cigars

In 1902, almost a century after the death of Simon Bolivar (1783-1830), a Spanish businessman living in Havana used his name for the manufacturer of a brand of Habanos, as a mark of respect to the Hero. Simon Bolivar was Venezuelan a warrior, who contributes at the liberation of what is today Venezuela, Columbia, Peru and Bolivia. Nowadays, the powerful flavour of the Bolivar range is almost as widely known as it's namesake and is one of the most in demand cigar brand, especially in Great Britain. Therefore it is not surprising that Bolivar cigars are made of leaves whose character symbolizes the heroic personality of the Latin American hero. Bolivar was developed by the Jose Rocha Company and manufactured at the El Crepusculo factory, but later acquired by Menendez, Garcia y Cia.
