Bolívar 100 Aniversario LCDH Humidor
In 2004, Habanos S.A. unveiled a remarkable tribute to one of Cuba's most storied cigar brands with the release of the Bolívar 100 Aniversario LCDH Humidor. This special commemorative edition was created to honor a century of Bolívar's presence in the cigar world, marking the brand's 100th anniversary with an exclusive presentation available only through La Casa del Habano retail locations worldwide.
The limited production run consisted of just 200 individually numbered humidors, each containing 100 cigars divided between two distinct vitolas. This release represents a significant moment in Bolívar's history, celebrating the brand's century-long legacy of producing full-flavored, robust Cuban cigars that have earned a devoted following among knowledgeable enthusiasts.
The Collection
The centenary humidor houses two different cigar formats, offering collectors and connoisseurs a thoughtfully curated smoking experience that showcases the brand's character in complementary presentations.
| Cigar Name | Factory Name | Quantity | Ring Gauge | Length | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Belicosos Finos | Campanas | 50 | 52 | 140mm (5½″) | 12.45g |
| Hermosos No.4 | Hermosos No.4 | 50 | 48 | 127mm (5″) | 10.86g |
The Belicosos Finos represents a standard production size within the Bolívar portfolio, while the Hermosos No.4 was introduced specifically as a new special release size for this commemorative edition. This combination provides smokers with both a familiar benchmark and an exclusive format found only within this collection.
Construction and Presentation
Both cigars are entirely handmade, maintaining the traditional craftsmanship that has defined Cuban cigar production. Each cigar features the standard Bolívar band (Band B) accompanied by the distinctive La Casa del Habano band, identifying these cigars as exclusive LCDH merchandise.
The humidors themselves are individually numbered, making each one a unique collector's piece. With only 200 units produced for worldwide distribution through the La Casa del Habano network, this release quickly became a sought-after item among serious cigar collectors and Bolívar enthusiasts.
Historical Significance
The 100 Aniversario release stands as a testament to Bolívar's enduring appeal and its position within the pantheon of great Cuban cigar brands. Named after the South American revolutionary Simón Bolívar, the brand has long been associated with cigars of considerable strength and complexity—qualities that this commemorative collection embodies.
