STG Introduces Bolivar Gran Republica: A New Honduran Line with South American Tobacco Blend

A new Honduran Bolivar will arrive at the shelves of American retailers soon. STG is releasing the Bolivar Gran Republica as a new regular production line in a few days. The cigars, made at STG Danli, have an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Brazilian.

Next month, the non-Cuban Bolivar brand will get a new regular production line made in Honduras. Arapiraca binder and fillers from Brazil, Colombia and Nicaragua. Simon Bolivar was the first president of the republica de Colombia aka Gran Colombia and the new cigar refers to that era. Gran Colombia is an area that includes Colombia and Ecuador. The cigars come in a robusto, toro and gigante vitola.

“With Bolivar Gran Republica, we are continuing to build the legacy of this important brand,” said Steve Abbot, director of marketing for Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG). “This is a bold blend for the initiated smoker, one that not only deepens the range of offerings from Bolivar but that also highlights the best of South American tobacco. We’re confident that Gran Republica will be a strong addition to the growing Bolivar portfolio.”
