Delicious spicy, earthy, fruity, and coffee notes add to this full-bodied cigar’s deep complexity. Its oily Ecuadorian Habano maduro wrapper cloaks a Brazilian Arapiraca binder and a Brazilian and Colombian filler. Handmade in Honduras. The Bolivar brand is named after Simon “El Libertador” Bolivar a 19th Century military and political leader who help several countries in Central and South America gain their independence from Spain. In fact, the Gran Republica’s blend includes premium tobaccos from Ecuador and Colombia, which are two of the countries Bolivar helped liberate. For a truly liberating flavor experience, pair the Bolivar Gran Republica with a single malt scotch or coffee.
