CUABA
Cuaba :: A Brief History
1966
The brand was launched in 1996. Cuaba specializes in figurado sizes.
In the early 19th century, double figurado cigars were high in demand, with a drop that saw hardly any in the market after the 1970s. A century later, they were revived in the Romeo Y Julieta factory under the brand Cuaba.
Initially, the cigars were made without a mold and had a slightly different shape.
The name Cuaba refers to a word used by the Tainos Indians. It was the type of wooden torch they used.
Four sizes were part of the initial launch in 1996. The Divinos, Exclusivos, Generosos and Traditionales.
