Cuaba Salomones launched in 1996. The name Cuaba is derived from the Taino word for a particular type of tree traditionally used by Cuba's indigenous people to make torches, reflecting the brand's connection with ancient Cuban tradition. Salomones, measuring 7 1/4 inches in length and featuring a hefty 57-ring gauge, is one of the four original vitolas introduced by the brand. Cuaba Salomones cigars are handcrafted by expert torcedores using the finest tobaccos sourced from the renowned Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba, synonymous with the highest quality cigar tobacco. These cigars boast a medium-bodied profile with notes of sweet cedar, leather, and earthy undertones, offering cigar enthusiasts a well-balanced yet complex smoking experience. To elevate the deep flavors and smooth finish of the Cuaba Salomones, we recommend pairing it with a fine aged cognac. The warm spice, dried fruit, and velvety mouthfeel of cognac enhance the cigar’s earthy complexity, delivering a luxurious combination for special occasions.
