Check out our range of ​​Diplomaticos cigars, available as singles and in beautiful authentic cigar boxes.

History of Diplomaticos Cigars

Diplomaticos was created in 1966 as a cheaper alternative to the Montecristo. The brands are inextricably linked, both working out of the Jose Marti factory and having nearly identical lineups, at least in terms of their shapes and sizes.

The first new cigar brand sold commercially after the Cuban Revolution, ​​Diplomaticos was specifically designed to sell to a French market.

Despite being designed as a cheaper alternative to Montecristo, Diplomaticos has never cut corners on quality. They’re one of the few remaining Habanas exclusively producing handmade cigars and use filler blends from the legendary Vuelta Abajo region, as with many premium Cubans.

Diplomaticos Cigars Tasting Profiles

Designed to sell in France, Diplomaticos has been known as a milder version of Montecristos with a lighter wrapper. These days, they’re more accurately described as medium-to-strong bodies with delicate aromas, making them popular daytime smokes for cigar aficionados.

If you’re not sure where to start, Diplomaticos No. 2 is arguably their most famous cigar. A striking piramides, it offers an easy draw and even burn with notes of wood and spice.
