From CubanBest.com:

Introduced in 1901, the powerful flavour of the Bolivar range is almost as widely known as it's namesake, Simon Bolivar (1783-1830), the celebrated Venezuelan warrior who liberated all or part of what today is Venezuela, Columbia, Peru and Bolivia. The cigar brand was developed by the Jose Fernandez Roig, was trademarked in 1921 and was made by J.F. Roig y Cia, until nationalization. This is a full bodied and tasty cigar. For beginners, a heavy cigar like Bolivar is not a good choice. Machine-made varieties are not as strong as hand-rolled ones.

Notes:

I've smoked quite a few of these over the past couple of years. They are good cigars. My major complaint is that 90% of the time they are rolled too tight and don't draw well. That was not the case with this particular stick. This drew nice and easy, and when you can get smoke out of these babies, you got yourself one of the best cigars in the world.

These things are strong right from the beginning, not harsh, but this ain't no "lite". The burn is always nice and even, with a good solid ash, not a surprise as tight as these things are. I can't say it tastes like leather or coffee or anything like that. It's just pure tobacco flavor. Worth smoking, but I've had more that were too tight than drew well, in just about the same price range, I'd go with the Monte #2.
