Bolivar
Bolivar New Gold Medal LCDH - Single Cigar
The History of Bolivar cigars
Simon Bolivar was one of the great historic figures of the 19th Century who liberated much of South America from Spanish rule.
The Bolivar cuban cigar 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 cigars are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano,’ – long filler, totally handmade. It is the brand of choice for enthusiasts who like strong flavours!
LCDH Bolivar 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.

These pairings are crafted to elevate the Bolívar Gold Medal’s full-bodied, nuanced character, making each smoking session an indulgent and memorable experience.
"Solid to the touch, this attractive toro has an excellent draw. It’s a nutty smoke that also leaves impressions of fruit, graham cracker and light chocolate before the long, malty finish. Combustion is slow and cool, forming a solid ash..."
