Bolivar Cofradia
The core Honduran-made line - hearty, full-flavored, and traditional. The blend that carries the Bolivar name for the everyday smoker.
Bolivar is one of the great Cuban-heritage names, honoring the liberator Simón Bolívar, with the non-Cuban version produced in Honduras. The brand has always stood for boldness - full flavor at a price the everyday smoker can afford. MDC distributes Bolivar as a heritage staple for traditional smokers.
Bolivar has meant "strong and full-flavored" to cigar smokers for over a century, and the Honduran-made version keeps that promise at a working price. It is one of those names that sells on reputation - the customer who knows Bolivar does not need a pitch, just a facing they can find.
MDC carries 9 active Bolivar SKUs across its lines. It anchors the heritage-and-value corner of our programs: real history, real flavor, and a box cost that lets retailers price it for the everyday buyer.
“Bolivar is in our standing rotation because the accounts we serve - from casinos to cigar bars - sell through it consistently. That's the only reason a brand stays on our line card.”
Not every SKU in the Bolivar catalog is in our standing rotation - we curate to what actually moves at retail. These are the core lines we keep in depth.
The core Honduran-made line - hearty, full-flavored, and traditional. The blend that carries the Bolivar name for the everyday smoker.
The modern refresh of the marque - a bolder contemporary blend built to reintroduce Bolivar to a new generation.
Bolivar's full-flavored, traditional profile fits venues with a classic-leaning crowd: liquor stores and smoke shops where heritage names drive the register, steakhouses that want a robust after-dinner option without a boutique price, and casino bars serving longtime smokers. Golf shops stock it for the regulars who want a proper full-flavored smoke on the back nine. Pair it with milder Dominicans so the humidor covers both ends of the strength curve.
MDC's active Bolivar SKUs run roughly $96–$168 per box wholesale, and venues typically retail at 1.8x–2.5x wholesale. That is heritage-brand economics at their best - a storied name at a box cost that keeps per-stick retail in the everyday range with full margin intact.
The MDC approach to any brand is the same: start with a curated core rotation sized to your venue, prove sell-through, then layer in deeper SKU coverage as the account matures. For a typical hospitality account, a Bolivar program begins with 2–3 vitolas across 40–60 cigars of opening depth, paired with the other brands that complement your overall humidor structure.
Because Bolivar is one of the core workhorse brands in the category, it's almost always part of the MDC opening-proposal for any new account - the exact SKUs and depth vary by whether you're running a bar-led hospitality program, a dedicated cigar lounge, or a pro-shop display. Your rep builds the proposal fast once you apply, with real numbers keyed to your venue.
Other brands frequently paired with Bolivar in MDC programs: Punch , La Gloria Cubana , Hoyo De Monterrey , El Rey Del Mundo .
