Regentes

Regentes

  • Copied Link

  • Brand: Bolivar
  • Year: 2021
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Discretos
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 ⅛ Inches / 130mm
  • This cigar was launched by Hunters & Frankau in early 2024 and is the fourth time Bolivar has been selected to create a Limited Edition. It is no coincidence that the Regentes shares its dimensions with another full-bodied cigar dressed in a dark wrapper, the Partagas Maduro No.1.
Soberano

Soberano

  • Copied Link

  • Year: 2018
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Duke
  • Ring gauge: 54
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm
  • The Duke vitola (size) was first made famous by the R&J Duke from 2009 but is perhaps best known as the format of the Partagas Serie E No.2. This is just the second time that Bolivar has been selected to produce a Limited Edition and has proved very popular with lovers of full flavoured Havanas.
Belgravia

Belgravia

  • Copied Link

  • Year: 2015
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Montesco
  • Ring gauge: 55
  • Length: 5 ¼ Inches / 130mm
  • Sharing its dimensions with the R&J Wide Churchill and being named after a plush part of West London gives this cigar a particularly English feel. There is even a statue of Simon Bolivar in Belgrave Square, Belgravia, where the cigar was introduced for the first time.
Super Corona

Super Corona

  • Copied Link

  • Year: 2014
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Hermoso No.3
  • Ring gauge: 48
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm
  • Only the second time that Bolivar has been called upon to produce a Limited Edition. The cigar shares its name, although not its dimensions, with a previous Super Corona produced by H. Upmann. Although two millimetres shorter than a standard Corona, it boasts a heavier ring gauge than the standard vitola. A Super Corona indeed.
Petit Belicoso

Petit Belicoso

  • Copied Link

  • Year: 2009
  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Petit Belicoso
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 Inches / 125mm
  • This cigar marks Bolivar’s debut on the Limited Edition stage and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. A rich and heavy but well-balanced cigar with a shape that pleasingly honours the iconic Bolivar Belicoso Fino.
Tubos No.3

Tubos No.3

  • Copied Link

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Placeras
  • Ring gauge: 34
  • Length: 5 Inches / 125mm

Petit Corona

Petit Corona

  • Flavour: Full
  • Vitola: Mareva
  • Ring gauge: 42
  • Length: 5 ⅛ Inches / 129mm

  • Vitola: Campana
  • Ring gauge: 52
  • Length: 5 ½ Inches / 140mm

Read About Bolívar

Simon Bolívar was one of the great historic figures of the 19th Century who liberated much of South America from Spanish rule.

The Bolívar brand was created in 1902 and is based today at the Partagas factory in the heart of Havana.

It is perhaps not surprising that a Havana named after such a powerful figure is blended to match his might. Bolívar is among the strongest, most full bodied of all Havanas. It boasts an unrivalled richness of flavour in its blend of Vuelta Abajo filler and binder tobaccos that makes it one of the most sought-after marques amongst experienced smokers.

It is the brand of choice for enthusiasts who like strong flavours.

All sizes of Bolivar are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano,’ – long filler, totally handmade.
