San Cristobal El Principe

The San Cristobal El Principe is a premium handmade Cuban cigar designed for adult cigar smokers who want a refined Habano experience in a shorter format. With its 110 mm length and 42 ring gauge, it is compact, elegant, and suitable for shorter smoking sessions without feeling too light or rushed.

This cigar belongs to the San Cristóbal de la Habana brand, introduced in 1999 and named after the original name of Havana. The original four vitolas were named after historic fortresses built to defend the city, including El Príncipe.

Made in Cuba with Cuban wrapper, binder, and filler tobaccos, El Principe offers a balanced Cuban profile in a practical small-cigar format. It is commonly described as mild-to-medium or medium-bodied, with flavour notes that may include cedar, coffee, wood, leather, nutmeg, cinnamon, cream, almonds, spice, and classic Cuban tobacco.

Its size makes it suitable for lunch breaks, shorter lounge sessions, travel cigar kits, evening smokes, and personal humidor collections. It is a good option for customers who want a Cuban cigar with character but do not want a long smoking commitment.

Why Choose This Cigar?

The San Cristobal El Principe is a strong choice for smokers who want Cuban flavour in a compact format. Its 42 ring gauge keeps the draw focused, while the 110 mm length makes it easier to enjoy when time is limited.

This is not the cigar to choose if you want a large, long-session Habano. Its strength is in delivering a balanced, elegant Cuban profile in a short and manageable size. For customers who enjoy smaller Cuban cigars with cedar, coffee, spice, and creamy tobacco notes, El Principe is a practical humidor addition.

Storage Guidance

Store this cigar in a proper humidor to maintain freshness, construction, and flavour. Keep it away from direct sunlight, dry air, excessive heat, and strong odours.
