Every Cuaba Generosos is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Few Cuban marcas wear their identity as openly as Cuaba. Launched in London on November 19, 1996, the brand was conceived for a single purpose: to bring back the figurado, the tapered perfecto shape that flourished in the early twentieth century before falling out of fashion by the 1950s. Every Cuaba is double-pointed and rolled entirely from Vuelta Abajo tobacco, and production is centered at the Briones Montoto factory, the same house behind Romeo y Julieta. The Generosos sits among the larger formats in the line and shows off the artistry of the figurado roller, tapering at both head and foot in a way that machine-made cigars simply cannot imitate.
What strikes most smokers first is the smoothness. The opening third is gentle and inviting, with a typically Cuban character of toasted tobacco and a soft, honeyed sweetness woven through light wood. As the burn settles into the middle, the cigar opens up and gains presence, leaning toward leather and a measured spice that keeps things interesting without ever turning harsh. The final third rounds out into something creamier, with a hint of sweet citrus lifting the finish. The figurado shape concentrates the smoke as the ring gauge widens, so the body builds gradually rather than arriving all at once.
Like most Vuelta Abajo blends, the Generosos rewards patience. Kept at a steady 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 18 degrees Celsius, the sharper edges of the spice mellow over time and the sweeter, creamier tones grow more pronounced. The double-tapered figurado shape also benefits from rest, as the tightly bunched filler at the points settles for a more even draw. Store the cigars in a well-seasoned humidor and let a freshly delivered box acclimate for a few weeks before lighting your first.
This is a cigar for the smoker who values craft as much as strength. The medium to full body has enough depth to satisfy a seasoned palate, yet its remarkable smoothness makes it approachable for anyone curious about what a real Cuban perfecto can offer. If you appreciate the romance of a vanishing shape and prefer a refined, evolving smoke over a one-note powerhouse, the Generosos earns its place in the humidor.
What size is the Cuaba Generosos?
It is a figurado perfecto measuring 5.3 inches (133 mm) in length with a 42 ring gauge, tapered at both the head and the foot.
How strong is the Cuaba Generosos?
It sits in the medium to full range. The Vuelta Abajo tobacco gives it real body, but most smokers find it notably smooth rather than aggressive.
Why is Cuaba known for figurado cigars?
The brand was created in 1996 specifically to revive the figurado, the double-tapered shape that had nearly disappeared from Cuban production, so every cigar in the line carries that distinctive pointed form.
