To celebrate over 130 years in the industry, Bolivar Cigars is releasing a new, limited-edition cigar. Bolivar Aniversario represents both the innovative spirit of the brand and its commitment to tradition.
Aniversario features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, a Brazilian Arapiraca binder, and filler tobacco from Paraguay, Argentina, Colombia, and Brazil. This combination of rare tobaccos and exceptional craftsmanship delivers a uniquely indulgent smoking experience that fans new and old will appreciate. It is worth noting that this limited-edition cigar also has a Suggested Retail Price (SRP) under $10.
Aniversario was produced in Honduras at HATSA. It is available in a single size — a 6 X 52 Toro — and will begin shipping in March 2026.
Joe Krzyston, Brand Manager of Bolivar Cigars, said, “Not only is Bolivar Aniversario a remarkable cigar filled with rare Argentine and Paraguayan tobacco, but it also offers incredible value for the discerning smoker. This is a fantastic blend that produces a wonderful smoke, perfect for any occasion.”
SRP of Bolivar Aniversario is $9.99 per cigar. Aniversario is available in convenient ten-count boxes.

The cigar is nicely made and has an average feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was good. The initial flavors at light up were apricot, brown sugar, a little tanned leather, and quite a bit of black coffee. There was black pepper rated at 7 1/2. Nice start.
At the first third (27 minutes) the apricot and brown sugar are making a nice flavor and it's a little syrupy. The leather is a little more prominent and it's more of a standard leather flavor instead of tanned. And there's plenty of black coffee but not too much. The cigar is medium bodied. The finish is earthy apricot with very good lingering black pepper. I rated the first third 93.
As I moved through the second third (56 minutes) the black coffee rose considerably. The apricot and brown sugar are on the light side. Even the leather has decreased. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is black coffee with very good lingering black pepper. The cigar lost a lot with the increase in black coffee. I rated the second third 90.
The cigar lasted 1 hour 21 minutes. It made a minor improvement. The apricot and brown sugar are more noticeable and the black coffee slightly decreased. There's a touch of earthiness. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is earthy apricot with very good lingering black pepper. The cigar did not get back to the first third notes but it improved to a 91. This is a cigar worth trying especially at it's price point.
