Buy cigars by Diplomaticos
Diplomáticos is a comparatively young brand from the 60s of the 20th century. Originally, these cigars are said to have been intended specifically for sale in France. Many details are reminiscent of the Montecristo brand. For example, in the designation of the formats. Instead of names, the Diplomáticos use the same number codes to designate the formats as Montecristo. The blend is kept a bit lighter than Montecristo's. Currently, only the Pirámide format of this brand is manufactured in Cuba: The Diplomaticos No.2.
Worth knowing
This brand was created in 1966 as a lighter and milder alternative to Montecristo launched. Of the 7 Vítolas, unfortunately only this Pyrámide has remained in the portfolio; otherwise Diplomáticos are only available as regional editions. The “little sister” the famous MC no. 2 , however, it only corresponds to a limited extent, since it certainly has its own charming character. The cheapest Cuban Big Torpedo, but just as fine as the others! Smoking time approx. 75 - 90 minutes.
Flavours
Certain parallels to the aroma of Montecristo are actually there – such as the unmistakable cocoa note that accompanies the entire smoke in the background, and a gentle, earthy roasted taste. However, there are also other facets of taste – fine scent of hay, for example, a fairly intense sweetness (especially in the first third), also charming spicy notes. A noble, multi-layered cigar that exhibits the typical increase in strength (from rather light to good medium) and flavor intensity as the smoke progresses. A real price-performance winner that has many fans among connoisseurs.
