Die Cuaba ist eine Zigarrenmarke, die erstmals von der Fabrik Romeo y Julieta in Kuba hergestellt wurde. Jede Cuaba hat eine einzigartige Form, die als Doppelfigurado bekannt ist und gegen Ende des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts beliebt war. Seit 2003 gibt es zwei deutlich größere Formen, die Distinguidos und die Salomones, die heute weit verbreitet sind. Alle Formate bestehen aus Einlage- und Umblättern aus dem Tabakanbaugebiet Vuelta Abajo.
Each cuaba has a unique shape known as a double figurado. This shape was very popular with Habanos towards the end of the nineteenth century.
This practice was resumed a century later, in 1996, at the Romeo y Julieta factory where the cuabas are made.
Double Figurados are the crowning glory of cigar craftsmanship. For this reason alone, they should be in the collection of every cigar lover.
Originally, the "Cuaba" brand only had four rather modest moulds. Since 2003, however, there have been two much larger moulds, the Distinguidos and the Salomones, which are now widely available.
Cuaba, like cohiba, is a Taino Indian term that Columbus' crew had already heard.
It was the name for an easily combustible plant used by the Indians to fire their cohibas (Indian word for tobacco wrappers).
All formats consist of filler and binder leaves from the tobacco growing region of Vuelta Abajo and are tripa larga - completely handmade longfillers.
