Introduced in 1966, primarily as a less expensive alternative to the Montecristo, Diplomaticos is one of the few Havana brands which is exclusively dedicated to hand-rolled cigars. It's cigar sizes mirror the Montecristo nomenclature and they are duly produced at the Jose Marti Factory, as most of the Montecristo line. Since its inception and due to the special blending of tobacco, Diplomaticos has become a most respected cigar with distinctively nutty flavors and a medium body. A most enjoyable smoke for cigar connoisseurs worldwide.
