San Cristóbal de la Habana Muralla – La Casa del Habano Exclusivo
The San Cristóbal de la Habana Muralla stands as one of the distinguished exclusives created specifically for La Casa del Habano (LCDH) retail locations. This cigar represents the brand's commitment to offering unique vitolas that are only available through the prestigious LCDH network, making it a sought-after addition to any serious collector's humidor.
History and Release Information
The Muralla has an interesting lineage that predates its official LCDH release. The vitola first made its appearance in 2004 as part of the San Cristóbal de la Habana 5 Aniversario Humidor, a special commemorative release celebrating the brand's fifth anniversary. Following this limited introduction, the Muralla was officially released as an LCDH exclusive in 2006.
Production of this cigar continued until 2011, when it was discontinued. This relatively short production window of approximately five years makes the Muralla a notable release for collectors seeking discontinued Cuban cigars.

The Rodolfo Vitola
Known by its factory name of Rodolfo, this substantial format measures 180mm in length with a 54 ring gauge. The dimensions place it firmly in the category of larger Cuban cigars, offering an extended smoking experience. The generous ring gauge allows for a complex blend of tobaccos and a cool, even burn throughout the lengthy smoke.
Collectibility
As a discontinued LCDH exclusive with a limited production run, the San Cristóbal de la Habana Muralla has become increasingly difficult to find in the secondary market. Collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the San Cristóbal de la Habana brand often seek this release as a representation of the marca's historical offerings through the La Casa del Habano network.
