History of the brand
San Cristobal de la Habana


Today's Cuban capital Havana was called "San Cristobal de la Habana" when it was founded in 1519; San Cristobal in honour of the discoverer Christopher Columbus and la Habana after an Indian name for "square".

The Habanos brand San Cristóbal de la Habana was introduced in 1999, on the threshold of the new millennium, to commemorate the city's long eventful history.


Character of the San Cristobal de la Habana cigar


The range consists of four formats with a light to medium flavour. Each format is named after one of the fortresses that defended the city when it was the centre of the Spanish Empire in Latin America. The San Cristóbal de la Habana tobaccos all come from the Vuelta Abajo region.

All formats are 'totalmente a mano, tripa larga' - completely handmade long fillers. There are two formats - El Morro and La Fuerza - in no other Habanos brand.
