Cuaba was launched in 1996 by Habanos S.A, which was formed by Cuban businessman Carlos Izquierdo González and called after the type of native bush used to ignite cigars by indigenous Cubans. Cuaba is distinguished by its unique double figurado (perfecto) shape and full-bodied flavor profile of wood, spice, and sweet floral notes. Crafted from premium Vuelta Abajo tobacco by skilled torcedores in Havana. Cuaba received several acclaim, including a Gold Medal from the Festival del Habano in 2014. The brand provides an exclusive smoking experience for cigar aficionados who seek a specialty Cuban cigar.
