Description

Band of Cuban Diplomat
Scan by R. L. Hardesty

The brand consists of two ranges, the Cuban Diplomat and the Cuban Diplomat Corojo Rosado.

Cuban Diplomat

This range consists of five vitolas and is essentially the filler and binder used in the Havana Soul, but with a Connecticut shade wrapper. The combination results in a medium to full-bodied cigar. The band is red and bears an image of a tobacco field within a broad border. The cigars are packed 25 to a box.

This range consists of four vitolas. It also takes the filler and binder used in the Havana Soul, but here the wrapper is a rosado Corojo leaf. The combination results in a medium to full-bodied cigar, with a richer flavor. The band is similar to the band for the Cuban Diplomat. The cigars are packed 25 to a box.
