Cuaba Salomónes Colección Habanos
The Cuaba Salomónes Colección Habanos holds a distinguished place in Cuban cigar history as the inaugural release of the prestigious Habanos Collection Series. Launched in 2001, this exceptional cigar introduced collectors and enthusiasts to what would become one of the most sought-after limited edition programs from Habanos S.A.
Historical Significance

As the first-ever release in the Habanos Collection Series, the Cuaba Salomónes set the standard for what collectors could expect from this elite program. The series was designed to showcase rare and historic vitolas, and the Salomón shape was an inspired choice for this debut—a classic figurado format that pays homage to the golden age of Cuban cigar making.

Packaging and Presentation
The Salomónes was presented in an elegant numbered book-shaped boîte nature box containing 10 cigars. True to its collector-focused positioning, production was strictly limited to just 300 individually numbered boxes worldwide, making this release extraordinarily scarce in the secondary market today.

The Salomón Vitola
The Salomón is a historic figurado shape characterized by its bulbous foot that tapers toward the head before flaring slightly at the cap. This distinctive silhouette requires exceptional skill to roll properly, and the format allows for a complex smoking experience as the changing ring gauge influences the burn and flavor development throughout the cigar.
