Storage Instructions
To preserve the character and delicate wrapper of the San Cristobal de la Habana Prado LCDH (10) store these cigars in a dedicated humidor set to a steady relative humidity between 65% and 70%, with 68% as the ideal target. Maintain temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF, or 18ºC and 21ºC, to avoid tobacco beetle risk and to keep oils and flavors balanced. Place the cigars away from direct sunlight and strong odors, and allow them to acclimate in the humidor for at least two weeks after purchase. For short trips use a travel humidor or a sealed container with a small humidification pack calibrated to the same range. Avoid refrigeration or freezing and do not store cigars in areas with frequent temperature swings or high exposure to moisture.
Care Tips
Handle each San Cristobal de la Habana Prado LCDH (10) with clean dry hands and avoid gripping the wrapper too tightly to prevent pressure marks or cracking. When cutting use a sharp guillotine or a precise V cutter and make a clean cut without twisting. Light the foot evenly and toast before drawing to protect the wrapper and to ensure a balanced burn. If you plan to age these Cuban-made cigars, allow them to rest in a well maintained humidor for six months to several years to develop additional complexity, checking humidity regularly and rotating the box every few months for even conditioning. Smoke within a stable humidity window and avoid rapid changes in storage conditions to keep the smoke smooth and the flavors true to the Prado LCDH profile.

History and Heritage

The Prado designation identifies a La Casa del Habano exclusive vitola, typically made in small batches and presented in modest boxes such as this ten count. Across the line San Cristobal cigars are known for elegance and aromatic nuance rather than sheer power, making them a favorite for enthusiasts who appreciate balance and traditional Cuban character.

Pairing Suggestions
