Diplomáticos is a comparatively young brand from the 1960s. Originally, these cigars are said to have been specifically intended for sale in France. Many details are reminiscent of the Montecristo brand. For example, when designating the formats. Instead of names, the Diplomáticos use the same number codes to designate the formats as Montecristo. The mixture is slightly lighter than that of Montecristo. Currently only the Pirámide format of this brand is manufactured in Cuba: the Diplomaticos No.2.
These cigars are rolled according to the traditional method "totalmente a mano, tripa larga" - long fillers made entirely by hand - with filler and binder leaves from the tobacco growing zone Vuelta Abajo.
