Simply exceptional
The Behike BHK 56 is everything you'd expect from the Cohiba flagship — complex, rich, and impossibly smooth from first to last inch.
Cuaba Tradicionales is the cigar that single-handedly revived the lost art of the Cuban double figurado. This medium to full 4.8" x 42 perfecto delivers earthy tobacco, toasted cedar, and a bright citrus lift across its tapered length. A rewarding choice for smokers who enjoy a shape with as much character as its flavor. Learn more →

Explore Cuaba
Every Cuaba Tradicionales 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 Tradicionales sits at the heart of one of the most romantic stories in modern Havana cigar making. Habanos S.A. launched the Cuaba marca in London in November 1996 with a single purpose, to bring back the elegant double figurado that had all but vanished from commercial production for roughly four decades. The Tradicionales is the cigar most people picture when they think of the brand, a slender perfecto tapered at both ends that recalls the silhouette of the Havanas smoked through the second half of the nineteenth century. Rolled in the classic favorito-perfecto format, it measures 4.8 inches (120 mm) with a 42 ring gauge, a compact stick whose double-pointed shape demands real skill at the rolling table.
The opening third leans toward a gentle earthiness, with toasted cedar and a touch of bread leading the way, lifted by a hint of citrus that keeps the early draws bright. Through the middle the cedar firms up and gives the smoke a sturdier backbone, with coffee and a soft cocoa sweetness joining the mix while a whisper of white pepper adds definition. The final third settles into a rounded, smooth finish where the wood and earth carry through, leaving a medium to full body that feels generous without ever turning harsh.
The Tradicionales responds well to patience. Kept at a steady 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 18 degrees Celsius, the cigar grows rounder over time as the cedar mellows and the earthier notes settle into harmony. Because of the tapered double figurado shape, proper humidity is especially important, since a cigar that dries out can draw unevenly and burn fast. A well seasoned humidor and a little time will reward you with a smoother, more integrated smoke.
This is a cigar for smokers who appreciate craft as much as flavor. The figurado shape calls for a clean cut at the tapered head and a careful light, which makes it a satisfying ritual for the enthusiast who enjoys taking their time. Its medium to full body suits those with some experience under their belt, yet the balance and approachable size mean it never feels overwhelming. If you love the heritage of Havana and want a cigar that wears its history on its sleeve, the Tradicionales belongs in your rotation.

Decent cigar but not my favorite from Cuban Cigar. The Cuaba Tradicionales has good flavor – cocoa and pepper – but didn’t wow me like other Cubans I’ve had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It’s good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.

The Cuaba Tradicionales is a respectable cigar. Nice notes of leather and wood, decent construction. However, I found it a bit one-dimensional compared to other Cuban Cigar offerings. Not bad, but there are better options in this price range.
