Cuban cigars: houses, formats, storage

The houses by strength

The strength of a Habano depends on the house, the format and the vintage. The grouping below describes the typical profile of each house.

El Conde de Santiago is Smoke's own house label, not a Habanos S.A. brand, so it is not ranked here.

Single cigars or a box

Single cigars come from opened boxes and are kept in the humidor. Boxes are shipped in their original packaging. Many rarities are available only as single cigars.

Formats in brief

Cuban formats carry a factory name (vitola de galera). Measurements are length × ring gauge (diameter in 1/64 inch), rounded:

  • Petit Corona (Mareva): approx. 129 mm × 42
  • Corona (Coronas): approx. 142 mm × 42
  • Robusto (Robustos): approx. 124 mm × 50
  • Belicoso (Campanas): approx. 140 mm × 52
  • Churchill (Julieta No. 2): approx. 178 mm × 47
  • Lancero (Laguito No. 1): approx. 192 mm × 38

Storage

Cigars are usually stored at 65 to 72 % relative humidity and a steady temperature. Too dry, and the wrapper becomes brittle; too humid, and the cigar burns unevenly.

Our cigars are stored at 70 % relative humidity in cedar. Cedar buffers fluctuations in humidity and adds a subtle aroma of its own.
