The special highlight of the Cuaba brand is its shape, which is known as a double figurado. Especially towards the end of the 19th century, this shape was very popular with Habanos. Reason enough to continue this beautiful tradition a century later. In a prominent place, namely the Romeo y Julieta factory, where the Cuabas are made. And there's more: with the production of the double figurados, the torcedores show their greatest skill. Double Figurados are the pinnacle of the art of cigar making. For this reason alone, they deserve a place in every cigar lover's collection. Cuaba is – just like cohiba – a loan word from the language of the Taíno Indians, the natives of Cuba, which Columbus' men already knew. It was the name of a highly flammable shrub that the Indians used to light their cohibas (Indian word for tobacco rolls). All formats contain filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo tobacco cultivation zone and are totalmente a mano, tripa larga - completely hand-made long fillers.
