Established in 1999 to mark the fast-approaching new millennium, San Cristóbal de la Habana is the newest of the historic Cuban heritage brands. Created to honor Havana's rich history, the brand takes its name from the city's original Spanish name given upon its founding in 1519. Each vitola in its portfolio is named after one of the historic forts that protected the city during colonial times or famous local landmarks. Handcrafted completely by hand (Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga) using select tobacco leaves from the renowned Vuelta Abajo zone, San Cristóbal de la Habana cigars are famous for their accessible, light-to-medium strength profile. Smokers are treated to refined nuances of sweet floral notes, toasted wood, light cream, roasted nuts, and subtle herbal spices. Gentle, complex, and beautifully balanced, it remains an exceptional choice for lovers of lighter Cuban smokes and modern Habanos history.
