If you’re around the premium cigar industry long enough, you start to notice a few things. It’s a small industry with many multi-generational, family-run factories and farms. While the Cuevas name is not well known, for four generations this family has been growing tremendous tobacco and manufacturing cigars. Today, their Las Lavas factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic manufactures many brands of premium cigars including the ones that bear the family name. Interesting side note about Cuevas cigars: they were originally scheduled to launch in the early 2000s. Business was really good, and with factory commitments for contact brands, they decided to postpone the release. Fast forward about 15 years, and the Cuevas brands have finally found their time in the sun.
The Cuevas Reserva Natural features a Havana binder with a mix of fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and the U.S.A., all wrapped in an Ecuadorean Connecticut wrapper. This cigar is described as a smooth smoke with nuanced earthy flavors.
The Cuevas Reserva Maduro features a Mexican San Andres wrapper, a Dominican, Piloto Cubano binder, and Dominican and Nicaraguan (Ometepe) fillers. It provides cigar enthusiasts with a full-flavor smoking experience in a perfectly balanced medium to full bodied cigar.
