Cuaba

Every Cuaba is made in the distinctive shape of the double figurado, the style that at the end of the 19th century was much in vogue for Havanas. A Century later, in 1996, this rich tradition was revived at the Romeo Y Julieta factory as a tribute to how Habanos once were presented globally. 

Double figurados are at the pinnacle of the cigar makers art and for this alone they merit a place in every cigar enthusiast’s collection. Cuaba , like Cohiba , is a Taino Indian word dating back to the time of Columbus, and no doubt long before. It was their term for a highly combustible bush , which they used to light their “Cohibas”. All sizes are “Tripa larga – Totalmente a mano” – Long filler, totally handmade.
