Scan by R. L. Hardesty
The brand consists of two ranges, the Cuban Diplomat and the Cuban Diplomat Corojo Rosado.
Cuban Diplomat
This range consists of five vitolas and is essentially the filler and binder used in the Havana Soul, but with a Connecticut shade wrapper. The combination results in a medium to full-bodied cigar. The band is red and bears an image of a tobacco field within a broad border. The cigars are packed 25 to a box.
