Cuaba Cigars Online

In the distinguished realm of premium cigars, where history and tradition intertwine with luxury and craftsmanship, the Cuaba brand stands out with its distinctive character and intriguing profile. Introduced in 1996 by Habanos S.A., the state-owned tobacco company of Cuba, Cuaba is a name that evokes the rich heritage and robust flavors of Cuban cigar making. The brand, named after a bush native to the island, which is known for its use in lighting the "Taino" - an ancient Cuban torch, reflects a deep connection to Cuban culture. Cuaba is unique for its exclusive production of "figurados" - cigars that are notably difficult to craft due to their irregular, tapering shapes. Unlike the more common parejo shape of most cigars, figurados are double-tapered, bulbous in the middle, and pointed at both ends. This old-world style, which was predominant in the 19th century, requires the highest level of craftsmanship and skill in cigar rolling, making each Cuaba cigar a piece of art in its own right. Each Cuaba cigar is meticulously handcrafted using the finest Vuelta Abajo tobacco, renowned for its potency, aromatic richness, and superior quality. This region in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, is acclaimed as the best tobacco-growing area in the world.
