One of the most enduring offerings from the prestigious Bolívar brand, the Bolívar Tubos No.2 has remained in continuous production since before 1960. This vitola represents the marriage of traditional Cuban craftsmanship with modern convenience, presented in individual aluminum tubes that protect and preserve the cigar's character.

The cigar exemplifies the Bolívar house style—bold, full-flavored smokes that pay homage to the Venezuelan revolutionary Simón Bolívar. The brand has long been associated with some of the most robust and flavorful cigars to emerge from Havana.
