Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?
The Duty / Ships column above tells you exactly that. Each retailer listed price is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) only in their home country. Buy from a German retailer as a German buyer: what you see is what you pay. Buy cross-border (e.g. a Swiss retailer shipping to Germany, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, or Ireland) and the destination country will charge its own tobacco excise + VAT at the door — typically €100–€300 extra on a box of 25 Habanos, sometimes much more for the UK.
If you set your destination country on the page, every row that is genuinely all-in for you gets highlighted in green. The dimmed rows are honest-looking prices that will cost more than they show.
How does Diplomáticos No. 2 compare to other Diplomáticos cigars?
Diplomáticos was created in 1966 specifically for the French market, using the same Habanos factory and similar blends to Montecristo. The No. 2 is essentially the Montecristo No. 2 with a slightly different blend ratio — same Pirámides format, same 6.1 inches by 52 ring at the foot, but with a touch more ligero in the filler that gives the cigar a fuller body. For decades the brand was the connoisseur's hack: Montecristo character at 15 to 20 percent less than the cost of an actual Monte No. 2.
Is the price for Diplomáticos No. 2 likely to drop?
Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.
Short-term, prices fluctuate at the retailer level — Swiss promotional weeks, German LCDH clearance, the occasional Spanish over-stock. The Finder catches those. A drop alert with no target price will email you on any meaningful reduction; setting a target locks the alert to your specific budget.

The smoke is denser than the Monte No. 2 it shadows. First third opens with espresso, leather and a touch of black pepper; the middle blooms into dark chocolate and dried fruit; the last third delivers a long, oily finish with leather, coffee and aged cedar. A box of 25 sits in the €520 to €635 range: Noblego runs around €545, Cigarmust CHF 605 (~€635). The €100 spread vs. the equivalent Monte No. 2 makes this a connoisseur's value pick.
