Diplomaticos Cigars

Diplomaticos cigars serve as an accessible counterpart to Montecristo, offering medium-to-full-bodied profiles with premium tobacco and traditional hand-rolled craftsmanship. The brand maintains Cuban cigar standards through exclusive use of handmade construction and Vuelta Abajo-region filler blends.

Product Line Availability

  • Available in single cigars or authentic boxed collections
  • Notable format: Diplomaticos No. 2 (piramides shape) featuring open draw, consistent burn, and woody-spicy notes

Historical Background

Introduced in 1966 through Cuba's Jose Marti factory, Diplomaticos became the first post-revolution cigar brand marketed commercially. Initially crafted for French consumers, it shares dimensional specifications with Montecristo while maintaining independent blending approaches.

Flavor Characteristics

Originally milder than Montecristo with pale wrappers, current Diplomaticos blends deliver medium-strength intensity with refined aromatic complexity. This evolution positions them as preferred daytime smokes for enthusiasts seeking structured yet approachable Habanos.
