Cuaba

The Cuaba cigar brand is specializing in figurado formats. These cigars were very popular before the revolution, particularly in the 1920s. The shape gradually lost its lustre until it became virtually obsolete in the 1970s. In 1996, Habanos S.A. decided to revive these forgotten modules by creating Cuaba cigars. The Romeo y Julieta factory took up the challenge. Cuaba cigars were the first "new" cigars to be introduced to the market after Cohiba in 1982.

The complexity of figurados is the epitome of the torcedor's art. For this reason alone, any true enthusiast should include them in his or her own selection. Because with With 0.5% of production exported, Cuaba cigars keep a low profile. Like Cohiba, Cuaba is a Taino word. At the time of Christopher Columbus' arrival, the natives were using it to designate a shrub whose wood was particularly combustible. The Taïnos lit their cohibas with a cuaba branch.

Originally, there were only four Cuaba cigar modules, and the Cuaba "Salomones" was added to the series.
