This Habanos brand was launched in 1966 - and its name initially misleads many cigar lovers. When you hear Diplom\u00e1ticos, you quickly think of diplomatic gifts or cigars intended for heads of state. Brands such as Cohiba or Trinidad are indeed closely associated with such diplomatic traditions. But the Diplom\u00e1ticos story tells a completely different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-3-Fabrik-2.jpg\" alt=\"The Diplom\u00e1ticos No.2: this cigar is the only one remaining from the brand&#039;s original range.

It is just as old as the Cohiba brand. Both are among the brands that were newly created after the victory of the Cuban revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the revolution in 1959, all cigar factories were nationalised. The former owners had left the country, but work in the factories usually continued without interruption. Many of the traditional brands simply continued to be produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, however, there was a desire to create new brands. This endeavour was also supported by Fidel Castro himself and other revolutionaries. For a passionate cigar smoker like him, the idea of developing new brands was particularly appealing. This is how Cohiba was born - the brand that was Fidel's personal favourite from the very beginning. Trinidad followed a few years later, officially in 1969. Both brands were initially used primarily as gifts: for heads of state, governments and personalities from diplomatic circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"657\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-2-Fidel.jpg\" alt=\"Even after the revolution, many people, including Fidel Castro, wanted new cigar brands.

This led to the creation of Cohiba, Trinidad and Diplom\u00e1ticos (Source: Adargelio Garrido de la Grana: \u201c... we shall call them Cohiba. A Legendary Pleasure\u201d, ISBN: 01500-1500).<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Against this background, the name Diplom\u00e1ticos almost seems like a logical continuation of this tradition. But this is exactly where the Diplom\u00e1ticos story takes a different direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"die-kleine-schwester-der-montecristo\">The little sister of the Montecristo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The history of Diplom\u00e1ticos shows that the brand was probably not intended as a diplomatic gift cigar. Instead, a different concept was pursued. Diplom\u00e1ticos was intended to be something like Montecristo's little sister: a brand with similar formats, but at a slightly lower price. It is also often mentioned that it was intended for the French market in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This proximity to Montecristo was evident when the brand was launched. The original range consisted of five formats - just like Montecristo. Accordingly, they were labelled Diplom\u00e1ticos No. 1 to Diplom\u00e1ticos No. 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The range was expanded in 1976. Two further formats were added: Diplom\u00e1ticos No. 6 and Diplom\u00e1ticos No. 7, which corresponded in size to the Montecristo Especial No. 1 and No. 2 formats. Unfortunately, these two cigars were only available for a very short time. Production of these two formats was discontinued just a few years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-3-Fabrik-3.jpg\" alt=\"The yellow colour of the Diplom\u00e1ticos boxes is not dissimilar to the yellow of the Montecristo boxes.

Today, only one format from the classic portfolio remains: the Diplom\u00e1ticos No. 2. This format in particular has built up a genuine and loyal fan base throughout the Diplom\u00e1ticos history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diplom\u00e1ticos No. 2 is a pir\u00e1mide - a figurado that tapers at one end. With a ring gauge of 52 and a length of 156 millimetres, it is one of the classic large formats in the world of Habanos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to the Montecristo No. 2, it is considered to have a somewhat milder flavour. Some aficionados even describe it as the mildest Pir\u00e1mide ever. It is precisely this milder characteristic that makes it particularly attractive to many aficionados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"995\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-3-Fabrik-5.jpg\" alt=\"Every cigar ring, including those of the Diplom\u00e1ticos brand, is made by hand.

To mark the sixtieth anniversary of the brand, a new cigar will once again raise awareness of it. This new release bears the name Diplom\u00e1ticos Cancilleres. Canciller is the Spanish word for chancellor. However, it is not yet known what meaning this name could have in connection with the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The production name - the Vitola de Galera - is Centro Fino. The format has a length of 130 millimetres and a ring gauge of 50, making it similar to a slightly longer Robusto. Interestingly, this format only exists in the range of another Habanos brand: Vegueros, where it is also called Centrofinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"704\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-1-Zigarre-3-Canciller.jpg\" alt=\"Diplom\u00e1ticos reinforcement in 2026 for the brand&#039;s 60th birthday: the Diplom\u00e1ticos Cancilleres.\" class=\"wp-image-2601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-1-Zigarre-3-Canciller.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-1-Zigarre-3-Canciller-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-1-Zigarre-3-Canciller-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-1-Zigarre-3-Canciller-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-1-Zigarre-3-Canciller-624x439.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:9px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bildbeschreibung\">Diplom\u00e1ticos reinforcement in 2026 for the brand's 60th birthday: the Diplom\u00e1ticos Cancilleres.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"regionale-editionen-und-neue-popularitat\">Regional editions and new popularity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another important part of the Diplom\u00e1ticos story lies in the so-called Edici\u00f3n Regional. In recent years, the brand has become particularly well known because importers of Habanos around the world have often chosen Diplom\u00e1ticos for these regional editions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Edici\u00f3n Regional is a limited special production that is only ever made for a specific country and only for a specific year. These limited series have contributed to the Diplom\u00e1ticos brand being recognised more strongly again in many countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"759\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-1-Zigarre-1-ER.jpg\" alt=\"The Diplom\u00e1ticos brand is often chosen for an Edici\u00f3n Regional.

As the little sister of the Montecristo, it could possibly have been produced in the H. Upmann factory on Calle Amistad No. 407. However, this assumption has not been confirmed. It remains an assumption within the Diplom\u00e1ticos story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Casa Matriz - the brand's parent company - is the traditional La Corona factory on Avenida 20 de Mayo in Havana. Cigars from other well-known brands are also produced there, including Hoyo de Monterrey, San Crist\u00f3bal de La Habana, Romeo y Julieta, Por Larra\u00f1aga and Cuaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"845\" src=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-3-Fabrik-1.jpg\" alt=\"The factory where Diplom\u00e1ticos brand cigars are made: The La Corona factory on Avenida 20 de Mayo in Havana.\" class=\"wp-image-2603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-3-Fabrik-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-3-Fabrik-1-300x254.jpg 300w, https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-3-Fabrik-1-768x649.jpg 768w, https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-3-Fabrik-1-14x12.jpg 14w, https:\/\/origin-of-cigar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/OOC-Diplomaticos-3-Fabrik-1-624x527.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:9px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bildbeschreibung\">The factory where Diplom\u00e1ticos brand cigars are made: The La Corona factory on Avenida 20 de Mayo in Havana.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"eine-leise-aber-erfolgreiche-geschichte\">A quiet but successful story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Diplom\u00e1ticos story is not a loud, dramatic story.
