Explore Cuaba
Every Cuaba Exclusivos is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
The Cuaba Exclusivos belongs to one of the most visually striking marcas in the Habanos portfolio. Cuaba was launched in 1996 in London as a brand devoted entirely to the perfecto, the old fashioned shape that tapers to a point at both the head and the foot. The name itself comes from a Taino word for a flammable bush that the indigenous people once used to light their early tobacco. Hand rolled in Cuba, the Exclusivos carries that figurado heritage in a slim, elegant double pointed format that demands a skilled torcedor to construct.
The opening third leans on creamy cedar and a gentle sweetness, with touches of dried fruit and almond that give it an approachable, polished start. As the burn climbs the tapered shaft, the middle third grows woodier and a little spicier, layering in caramel, nougat, toasted notes and a hint of leather. The final third keeps that earthy, slightly nutty backbone going, with roasted almond and faint vanilla rounding things out and a soft salted caramel sweetness lingering on the finish. Intensity builds steadily as the ring gauge widens, which is part of the charm of smoking a true perfecto.
Cuaba blends are known to settle and sweeten with time, so the Exclusivos rewards a little patience. Keep it in a well seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 18 degrees Celsius, and the cedar and dried fruit notes tend to marry more smoothly over the months. The slender perfecto shape means the foot is delicate, so store the cigars where the tapered ends are protected from being knocked or crushed.
This is a cigar for the smoker who appreciates a classic shape and a medium to full experience that favors nuance over raw power. The figurado format makes it a satisfying choice for someone who enjoys the ritual of a cigar whose draw and intensity shift as it burns. Newer enthusiasts curious about Cuban perfectos will find it characterful and rewarding, while seasoned aficionados will recognize the refined, woody profile that defines the marca.
