Bolivar Cigars

The Bolivar cigar brand is considered one of the oldest and most widely recognized brands produced in Honduras. The cigar is named after Simon Bolivar, aka “El Libertador” (the Liberator), a Venezuelan political and military leader who helped several Central and South American countries gain their independence from Spain during the 1800s. The cigars were designed by the late, cigar legend Estelo Padron (brother of Jose O. Padron). The brand’s Cofradia cigar is known for its strength and flavor and having a very Cubanesque quality and being wallet friendly.

Cigar Origin
Honduras
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Honduras, a Central American country which shares a border with Nicaragua, is widely known in the premium cigar industry as the ideal place to grow Cuban and Connecticut seed tobaccos. Danli and the Jamastran Valley is considered the heart of Honduras’ cigar industry. The Jamastran Valley is known for producing a full-bodied tobacco that draws strong comparisons to the tobacco grown in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba. This same region is also known for its Connecticut shade grown and Corojo shade grown tobacco. In addition, Honduras produces Cuban-seed sun grown filler tobaccos of the highest quality.

Ecuador supplies Connecticut and Sumatra type wrappers to many cigar factory in the world.
