Bolivar Cigars For Sale | Cofradia, Royal Coronas, Belicosos Finos & More

Bolivar cigars carry one of the most storied names in premium tobacco — evoking the grandeur of Simón Bolívar and the golden age of Havana cigar culture. The US-market Bolivar line, produced in Honduras by General Cigar Company, honors that legacy with Jamastran Valley tobacco, robust construction, and medium-to-full profiles built for serious smokers. Whether you reach for the earthy Cofradia or the dark-and-bold Cofradia Maduro, every Bolivar delivers unmistakable character from the first light to the nub.

The Bolivar Legacy: From Havana to Honduras

The Bolivar brand was founded in Havana in the early 1900s and named in honor of Venezuelan liberator Simón Bolívar — a tribute to the prestige Cuban cigar makers attached to the name. For decades, Bolivar was among the most celebrated Cuban brands, known for its strong, complex tobaccos and iconic red-and-gold bands.

After the Cuban Revolution nationalized the tobacco industry, the trademark split between Habanos S.A. and American interests. Today, General Cigar Company holds the US Bolivar trademark and produces the line in Honduras — specifically using rich Jamastran Valley leaf that has become the backbone of some of Central America's most respected blends. The result is a distinctly Honduran interpretation of the Bolivar name: earthy, leathery, full of presence, and built to smoke slowly.

Bolivar Cigars Product Lines

Bolivar Cofradia

The Cofradia is the flagship Bolivar line for the US market — a Honduran puro wrapped in silky Jamastran Natural leaf. Medium-to-full in strength, it opens with cedar and leather, develops earthy depth through the mid-third, and finishes on notes of dark fruit and a gentle woody spice. Available in classic robusto, toro, and Churchill formats, Cofradia rewards slow, attentive smoking.

Bolivar Cofradia Maduro

The Cofradia Maduro replaces the natural wrapper with deeply fermented Connecticut Broadleaf, transforming the already-bold Cofradia blend into a full-strength powerhouse. Expect dark chocolate, espresso, earthy tobacco, and a rich creaminess that softens the strength and keeps every puff cohesive. It is one of the best value maduro cigars in the General Cigar portfolio.

Bolivar Royal Coronas

The Royal Coronas delivers the classic Bolivar profile in a robusto format that smokes evenly and efficiently — ideal for a 45-to-60-minute session. Honduran binder and filler meet a polished Ecuadorian Natural wrapper for a medium-to-full profile of leather, cedar, dried fruit, and subtle spice. Royal Coronas is often the entry point for new Bolivar smokers.

Bolivar Belicosos Finos

Named after a classic Cuban vitola, the Belicosos Finos revives the pyramid format in a Honduran-Ecuadorian blend that grows in complexity as it smokes toward the tighter foot. Initial notes of nutmeg and dark honey give way to deeper wood and leather, with a creamy finish that lingers. The tapered head produces a concentrated, flavorful draw that makes this one of the most characterful shapes in the lineup.

Bolivar Lonsdales

The Lonsdales format — long, elegant, and classic — allows the Honduran and Ecuadorian tobaccos ample time to develop. At medium strength, it is one of the lighter entries in the Bolivar catalog, opening with creamy cedar and white pepper before transitioning to soft wood and a clean, dry finish. A great choice for Bolivar fans who prefer a longer smoke with more nuance than heat.
