Rows in grey were last read more than 60 days ago: they are history, not quotes, and never count as the cheapest. Listed price for the box of 25 in the retailer's own currency, their own tax included. A box crossing a border picks up destination duty and VAT on top — the "duty paid EU" mark shows the few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market.

The piece

Modern Cuban brand launched in 1999. La Punta is a Campana pyramid format with a balanced, accessible flavour profile.

San Cristóbal de la Habana is one of the youngest active Cuban brands, launched in 1999 to commemorate the founding of Havana. The four core vitolas are named for the historic forts that guarded the colonial city — La Punta, La Fuerza, El Morro, and El Príncipe. La Punta is the most-traded of the four — a 5.5-inch Campana at 52 ring, in the Pirámides family but slightly smaller than the Monte No. 2.

The smoke is balanced and approachable. First third opens with cedar and a faint sweetness; the middle drifts into coffee, leather and a touch of toasted bread; the last third delivers a smooth, slightly woody finish that holds for the full 60 to 75 minutes. A box of 25 sits in the €495 to €595 range: Noblego runs around €515, Cigarworld €530, Cigarmust CHF 570 (~€600). One of the easier entry points to Cuban pyramids — the format is intimidating but the blend is welcoming.

Questions

  • Where is the cheapest place to buy San Cristóbal de la Habana La Punta in Europe right now?

    We are tracking 2 European retailers that list San Cristóbal de la Habana La Punta. Stock is moving — refresh this page or save it to your watchlist to be alerted when any retailer restocks at a competitive price.

  • Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?

    Only if you live where the retailer is. Every price on this page is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) in the retailer's home country and nowhere else. Buy from a German retailer to a German address and what you see is what you pay. Buy across a border — a Swiss retailer shipping into the EU, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Ireland — and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise and VAT on arrival. How much depends on the destination's excise rate; our import-duty guide walks through the main markets.

    The few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market carry a "duty paid EU" mark in the table.

  • How does San Cristóbal de la Habana La Punta compare to other San Cristóbal de la Habana cigars?

    San Cristóbal de la Habana La Punta is a Campana, ring 52, 140 mm, medium strength, sold in a box of 25.

  • Is the price for San Cristóbal de la Habana La Punta 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 move at the retailer level — promotions, clearance, a restock at a different price. Where we have a history, the 90-day line on this page shows what the cheapest box in Europe has actually done. A price alert with no target emails you on any drop; setting a target limits it to your budget.
