San Cristobal Mercaderes (LCDH) – The Exclusive Cigar Named After Old Havana’s Street of Merchants

The San Cristobal Mercaderes (LCDH) is a La Casa del Habano exclusive from the San Cristobal de La Habana marca, created in 1999 and named after Havana’s original name. This LCDH selection is named after Calle Mercaderes, an old street of Old Havana. Rolled in the elegant Hermosos No.1 vitola at 167 mm (6.6″) with a 48 ring gauge, it is fully handmade with 100% Cuban long filler from the Vuelta Abajo.
