Cuaba
Exclusivos Box Of 25 Cigars
CUABA
Every Cuaba is made in the distinctive shape known as a double figurado, the style that at the end of the 19th Century was all the rage for Habanos.
Double figurados are at the pinnacle of the cigar makers' art and for this alone they merit a place in every cigar enthusiast's collection.
Cuaba, like Cohiba, is a Taino Indian word dating back to the time of Columbus. It was their name for a highly combustible bush, which the Indians used to light their 'Cohibas.'
All sizes contain a medium to full flavoured blend of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone and are ‘tripa larga totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.
EXCLUSIVO
This was the largest of Cuaba's original sizes when it was introduced at a glittering dinner at Claridge's Hotel in London in 1996.

The Exclusivos are one of the few figurados that are available and it has to be said that when they are good, they are excellent and the current batch that I have received are absolutely perfect. Golden brown, colorado maduro wrappers, with perfect construction, the Exclusivos develops into a fine medium flavour, medium strength smoke.
89 / 100
"This slim perfecto is well made with an olive-toned wrapper. It has a pleasant aroma and flavours of dry wood, along with a nutty finish. The draw and burn are slightly off...."
