Diplomaticos No.2

The Diplomaticos No.2 is a classic Cuban torpedo (piramide) cigar, measuring 6 1/8 inches (156 mm) with a 52 ring gauge. Crafted entirely by hand using long-filler tobaccos from Cuba’s renowned Vuelta Abajo region, this cigar is celebrated for its balanced, medium to full-bodied profile and approachable price point. Introduced in 1966 as a value-oriented alternative to the Montecristo No.2, the Diplomaticos No.2 quickly established its own reputation for quality and complexity, often regarded as one of the best daytime piramides available. This well-tailored torpedo with its distinct taste offers all the excellent smoking characteristics of its shape.

Diplomáticos is a distinguished Cuban cigar brand launched in 1966 during Cuba’s post-revolutionary era. Originally, the brand debuted with five vitolas that mirrored the formats of the iconic Montecristo Nos. 1 to 5, aiming to offer a slightly milder and more approachable alternative. Over time, Diplomáticos became renowned for its quality and close resemblance to Montecristo cigars, earning a loyal following among aficionados and collectors. While the lineup once included several sizes, today the Diplomáticos No. 2 remains a staple, celebrated for its robust yet balanced profile and expert craftsmanship using tobacco from the famed Vuelta Abajo region.
