Cuaba - Tradicionales - Box of 25
Cuaba - Tradicionales - Box of 25
A box of 25 cigars, the connoisseur's choice for laying down and ageing.
One of the original 1996 sizes: a classic double figurado.
Cuaba was launched in London in 1996, reviving the nineteenth-century art of the double figurado, a cigar tapered at both ends. The name is the Taíno word for a bush once used to light cigars. Every Cuaba is long filler, made with Vuelta Abajo tobacco, and classed by Habanos as medium to full in flavour.
Connoisseurs' notes
Published reviewers commonly describe the Tradicionales as having almond and light earth with caramel and pepper.
