San Cristobal de la Habana was introduced in 2001 as part of Habanos SA's portfolio of premium Cuban cigars. The brand takes its name from the original name of Havana, San Cristóbal de la Habana, reflecting the rich heritage and tradition of Cuban cigar making. The brand was created to offer smokers a distinct alternative within the Cuban cigar landscape, with vitolas that emphasize elegance and refinement. El Principe represents the brand's commitment to providing quality Cuban cigars in smaller, more accessible formats without compromising on the authentic Habano experience that defines the industry.
