The Infamous General
BolivarSimon Bolivar, one of the great romantic figures of the 19th century, liberated much of South America from Spanish rule. In 1901, seventy-one years after his death, the Rocha Cuban Cigar Company in Havana commemorated him with their cigars. Named after the infamous General, the Bolívar cigar is often compared to the character of the great man himself – strong, powerful and robust in every way.
Today, Bolívar cigars are thought to be amongst the strongest, most full-bodied cigars produced in Cuba. The Bolívar cigar is not for the beginner; it’s distinctively strong flavor and robust nature draw mostly seasoned aficionados. Ironically, at one time the Rocha Bolívar was famous for offering the world’s smallest Cuban cigar size, the Delgado, measuring only 1 7/8 inches by 20 ring gauge. It is said that the royal nursery at Windsor Castle once housed a spectacular dollhouse complete with a miniature box of Bolívar Delgado cigars in residence.
