San Cristobal De La Habana was the original name of Havana, Cubas capital city, when it was founded in 1519; San Cristobal (Saint Christopher) in honour of Columbus and La Habana after an Indian name for the site.
San Cristobal De La Habana cigars were introduced in 1999 on the threshold of the new millenium as a tribute to the city’s long history.
