Cuaba

Every Cuaba is made in the double figurado shape, tapered at both ends, which was fashionable for Havanas at the end of the nineteenth century. The style was revived in 1996 at the Romeo y Julieta factory. The name is a Taíno word for a highly combustible bush that was used to light cigars. Every size is long filler and totally handmade with Vuelta Abajo tobacco, and Habanos class Cuaba as medium to full in flavour.

The first sizes were small, such as the Divinos and Tradicionales; larger ones, including the Distinguidos and Salomones, joined the standard range from 2003. Choose by length and ring gauge: the small sizes suit a short smoke, the larger ones a long evening.
