Cuaba Distinguidos
Cuaba
Description
Every Cuaba is made in the distinctive shape known as a 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 maker’s 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 of Cuaba are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano,’ – long filler, totally handmade.
A size that first appeared in the Millennium ceramic jar series – many felt it was the best – before
being introduced to the Cuaba portfolio in 2003. Usefully available in boxes of 10 and
