Cuaba Divinos

HISTORY

Every Cuaba is made in the distinctive shape known as a double figurado, the style that at the end of the 19th Century was much in vogue for Havanas. A century later, in 1996, this rich tradition was revived at the Romeo y Julieta factory as a tribute to how Habanos once were presented globally.

Double figurados are at the pinnacle of the cigar maker’s 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, and no doubt long before. It was their term for a highly combustible bush, which they used to light their ‘cohibas’.

All sizes of Cuaba are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano,’ – long filler, totally handmade.

Strictly speaking this is a ‘perfecto’ size, not a double figurado because the cigar’s head is rounded not pointed. It has a particular intensity of taste from the off that makes it the perfect accompaniment to a morning espresso.

TASTING NOTES

The Cuaba Divinos delivers a concentrated, medium-full strength smoke. The experience is bold but balanced, immediately starting with sweet cedar and light caramel, followed by a velvety, creamy texture. Distinctive floral notes and a sharp ginger spice emerge mid-smoke, completing this surprisingly complex and flavorful small vitola.

Its small size and sweet-spicy profile make it ideal for pairing with a celebratory and slightly sweet drink, such as Champagne or a Hot Toddy, or simply a rich Cappuccino.
