Explore Bolivar
Every Bolivar Lonsdales is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Founded in 1902 and named after Simón Bolívar, the Liberator who freed much of South America from Spanish rule, the Bolivar marca has long carried a reputation for sheer power. Rolled today at the historic Partagás factory in Havana, Bolivar is widely regarded as one of the most full-bodied of all Habanos, built on richly flavoured long-filler tobaccos grown in Cuba’s celebrated Vuelta Abajo region. The Lonsdales takes that bold blend and stretches it into a classic 6.5 inch (165 mm) by 42 ring gauge format, an elegant shape that gives the smoke room to breathe and evolve.
The opening third tends to lead with earthy depth, a layer of cocoa, and a faint crackle of black pepper that signals the strength to come. Through the middle the cigar settles into its stride, weaving supple leather and roasted nuts together with a thread of cedar and a coffee-like richness. By the final third the body builds toward its full peak, with the woody and earthy notes growing more concentrated and the finish turning long and warming.
Bolivar is a blend that rewards patience. Kept in a properly seasoned humidor at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 64 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit, the Lonsdales will mellow over the months and years, allowing its sharper edges to fold into rounder, sweeter complexity. If you cellar a box, rotate the cigars occasionally and avoid swings in temperature so the wrappers stay supple and the burn stays even.
This is a cigar for the experienced palate. Smokers who already enjoy full-bodied Habanos and want length and time with their tobacco will find the Lonsdale format ideal, since the slimmer 42 ring keeps the flavours focused while the 6.5 inch length stretches the experience past an hour. Newcomers may find the strength demanding, so it is best approached with a full stomach and an unhurried evening.
How strong is the Bolivar Lonsdales?
It is a full-bodied smoke. Bolivar is consistently ranked among the most powerful and full-flavoured of all Cuban brands, so the Lonsdales suits seasoned smokers more than beginners.
What size is the Lonsdales?
It measures 6.5 inches (165 mm) in length with a 42 ring gauge, the traditional Lonsdale shape that Habanos calls a Cervantes.
How long does it take to smoke?
Plan on roughly an hour or more. The slender ring gauge and generous length make it a relaxed, drawn-out smoke rather than a short one.

The Bolivar Bolivar Lonsdales is a quality cigar. Nice balance of flavor and strength. I enjoyed the coffee and cream notes throughout. Construction was very good with only one minor touch-up needed. Good cigar for experienced smokers.
Good cigar but expected a bit more for the price. The Bolivar Bolivar Lonsdales delivered on flavor (cocoa and pepper) and construction, but lacked the complexity I was hoping for. Solid smoke, just not outstanding. Still enjoyable.
