Cigars Cuaba
The Cuaba cigar brand specializes 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 challenge was taken up by Romeo y Julieta . The Cuaba cigars werethe first "new" cigars to be introduced on the market after the Cohiba in 1982.
Because of their complexity, figurados represent the pinnacle of the torcedor's art. For this reason alone, every true connoisseur should include them in his or her own selection. With only 0.5% of production exported, Cuaba cigars remain very discreet. Like Cohiba, Cuaba is a Taino word. When Christopher Columbus arrived, the natives used it to designate a shrub whose wood was particularly combustible. It was with a branch of cuaba that the Taïnos lit their cohibas.
Originally, there were only four cigar modules Cuaba, but the Cuaba "Salomones" was added to the series.
