The San Cristobal El Principe – Single Cigar is a refined and elegant small-format Havana, offering a delightful balance of flavour, smoothness, and tradition. Handmade in Cuba using long filler tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajoregion, this light to medium-bodied cigar provides a beautifully nuanced smoking experience that perfectly reflects the sophistication of the San Cristobal de la Habana brand.

Named after Havana’s original 16th-century title, San Cristobal de la Habana was created in 1999 as a tribute to the city’s rich history and enduring spirit. The El Principe takes its name from one of the four fortresses that once guarded the Cuban capital — a fitting nod to both heritage and craftsmanship.

The cigar opens with gentle woody and leathery tones, evolving into subtle hints of sweet spice, floral notes, and toasted nuts. Its flavour remains clean and aromatic, never overpowering, with an even burn and firm construction throughout. Ideal as a pre-dinner smoke, the El Principe delivers just the right amount of body and complexity in a concise format.

Charming, approachable, and beautifully made, the San Cristobal El Principe is perfect for those seeking a shorter Cuban cigar with elegance and refinement.
