The Bolivar cigar range is almost as well known as its namesake, « Simon Bolivar » (1783-1830), the Libertador, the legendary figure who freed most South American countries from the Spanish colonial Empire in the early 19th century. The Bolivar brand was officially registered by « J.F. Rocha et compagnie » in 1921, and it was still little known in export markets at that time. Upon José Rocha's death in 1954, the Bolivar brand as well as La Gloria Cubana were sold by the Rocha family to the Cifuentes family. Thus, all production moved to the Partagas factory, which still makes Bolivar cigars today. By the end of the 1950s, the brand had already earned a strong reputation in export markets, and there is no doubt that this result was the fruit of the Partagas factory's experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\"\u003eAt the time of the Revolution, it was already highly reputed and was one of the favorite brands of English smokers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\"\u003eAfter the Revolution, production continued uninterrupted. Interestingly, no notes were found regarding this brand, except for the vitolas whose production was discontinued in the seventies. Also, a notable shift in the blend toward a smoother profile has been observed in certain formats produced since 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\"\u003eHow can one be surprised if, like the historical figure whose name they adopted, Bolivar cigars display such a strong personality.
