Cuaba Cigars are renowned for their distinctive double figurado shapes, harking back to the classic styles of pre-revolutionary Cuban cigars. These cigars are produced in Cuba by Habanos S.A. and are known for their craftsmanship and distinctive profiles.

What Do Cuaba Cigars Taste Like?
The first few puffs of a Cuaba cigar present just the flavour of the wrapper tobacco, a surprising flavour which develops into the flavour of the filler tobacco as the cigar burns, offering a medium to full-bodied smoke.
Smokers can expect notes of cedar, nuts, spices, and sometimes a hint of floral sweetness. The unique shapes often mean that the flavours evolve and intensify throughout the smoke.
History of Cuaba Cigars
Launched in 1996 by Habanos S.A., Cuaba was created to revive the tradition of figurado cigars, which were once very popular but had fallen out of favour. The brand’s name, Cuaba, is derived from an indigenous word for a type of bush used by Cuban Indians to light their tobacco.
Cuaba Cigar Smoking Experience
The figurados are not only visually striking but also offer a varied smoking experience due to their changing ring gauge. The flavours are well-balanced and evolve as the cigar burns, making each smoke session a unique adventure.
