The most recent of Habanos brands, being launched in 1999 in Havana, San Cristóbal de la Habana is not related to an older brand which existed until the Cuban Revolution. The brand honors the original name of the city of Havana; St Christopher for the Saint of the day when the city was founded in 1519 and La Habana refers to a native name for the site. Four vitolas were originally released, each named after a Spanish fortress that was used to defend this important commercial hub for Spain’s American empire. They were La Fuerza, La Punta, El Príncipe and El Morro. The latter has now been discontinued but new “La Casa del Habano” exclusive cigars are regularly added to the line-up. All cigars made by San Cristóbal de la Habana are hand rolled using tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo tobacco region and are known to be medium body.
The best selling cigars are the San Cristobal El Principe, the San Cristobal La Punta and the San Cristobal La Fuerza.

It is a creamy smoke with great toasty and black coffee aromas, along with some sweet molasses. Ageing this cigar permits the La Fuerza to reveal its full potential, very creamy and very complex cigar. Simply, the best vitola from the San Cristobal brand. En savoir plus -
