Every Diplomaticos No.2 is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
The Diplomaticos marca was born in 1966, created as a companion brand to Montecristo and originally blended a touch milder to win over French smokers. Today it is rolled by the same skilled hands at the famed Jose Marti factory in Havana, and the No.2 has become the line’s signature release. As the only Diplomaticos vitola kept in regular production, this Piramide carries the full weight of the brand’s reputation. Measuring 6.1 inches (156 mm) with a 52 ring gauge that tapers to an elegant pointed head, it is a classic figurado built for unhurried enjoyment.
The opening third leans into cedar and toasted wood, with sweet baking spices such as cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg arriving after the first few draws. Through the middle the blend settles into a balanced core of oak, roasted nuts, and a gentle creaminess, while a thread of black pepper keeps things lively. The final third deepens toward bitter cocoa and earthier, more concentrated notes, building in body without losing its composure. Across the whole smoke it stays complex and well integrated, never one-dimensional.
Keep your Diplomaticos No.2 in a well seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 18 degrees Celsius. The tapered Piramide head rewards patience, and these cigars often round out and grow more harmonious with a year or two of rest, softening the pepper and pushing the sweeter wood and cocoa notes forward. Stored properly, a full box can mature gracefully over several years.
This is a cigar for the smoker who appreciates a figurado and wants real complexity without stepping into the most exclusive Cuban tiers. Newcomers should treat it as a step up, ideally on a full stomach, since the body climbs toward the full end by the finish. For experienced palates it offers Montecristo-adjacent character with its own woody, spice-forward signature, making it a smart pick for an after-dinner hour.

Customer Reviews
Excellent cigar from Cuban Cigar. The Diplomaticos No.2 has a refined flavor profile - lots of cedar and spice. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 80 minutes. Only minor complaint is it's slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.
Absolutely love this Diplomaticos No.2! Cuban Cigar continues to impress with their quality. Wonderful complexity with leather and wood, smooth creamy smoke, and perfect construction. One of my all-time favorites!
Decent cigar but not my favorite from Cuban Cigar. The Diplomaticos No.2 has good flavor - honey and tobacco - but didn't wow me like other Cubans I've had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It's good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.
Phenomenal smoke! Been enjoying Cuban cigars for years and this Diplomaticos No.2 is easily one of my favorites. Beautiful wrapper, flawless construction, and about 84 minutes of pure enjoyment. The flavor profile is incredible - leather and wood. Will definitely order more!
Best cigar I've had in a long time! Cuban Cigar really knocked it out of the park with the Diplomaticos No.2. Rich flavor profile featuring leather and wood, perfect draw, and excellent burn. Can't recommend this enough!
The Cuban Cigar Diplomaticos No.2 is a quality cigar. Nice balance of flavor and strength. I enjoyed the coffee and cream notes throughout. Construction was very good with only one minor touch-up needed. Good cigar for experienced smokers.
