It's no coincidence that the brand was launched in the UK in November 1996. Cuaba was officially born out of a gamble by the directors of Habanos SA to revive the fashion for figurados, which were very popular with the British in the 19th century. Juan Carlos Izqierdo Gonzalez, who was a torcedor for forty-eight years at Romeo y Julieta, was entrusted with the task of training the first professionals in this very special technique. Today, the Romeo y Julieta factory has a special school dedicated to training torcedores for the Cuaba.
Product Detail
Despite its tapered, arched base, this curvaceous figurado fires and burns evenly. Its roasted, nutty character is layered with notes of leather, ground pepper, graham crackers and hazelnut, all leading to a honeyed finish.
