The Bolívar brand was created in 1902 and is named after Simon Bolívar, one of the great figures of the 19th century who passed into history as the liberator of much of South America from Spanish rule. For this reason, and in line with the character of the historical figure that gives it its name, this Habano is characterized by its strong flavour. Without a doubt, Bolívar is one of the strongest brands that make up the Habano universe.
