Cuaba Cigars are instantly recognisable for their rare double figurado shape, a traditional Cuban style that dates back to the golden age of cigar making in the 19th century. Launched in 1996, the brand was created to revive this classic format and bring back the elegance and complexity it delivers in the smoke.

Handmade in Cuba using select long-filler tobaccos from the renowned Vuelta Abajo region, Cuaba cigars offer a balanced medium to medium-full profile. Expect notes of cedar, earth and gentle spice, often rounded by a soft natural sweetness. The tapered foot and head allow the flavours to unfold gradually, giving the cigar a sense of progression and depth from the first draw to the last.
