Casa Cuevas Cigars, makers of handmade premium cigars, has noted they will be releasing the Cuevas Reserva Natural and Cuevas Reserva Maduro at the 2019 IPCPR in Las Vegas. The patriarch of the four-generation tobacco family, Luis Cuevas Sr. originally introduced the Cuevas Reserva brand in the early 2000’s and was limited in availability until now.
Luis Cuevas Sr. introduced the Casa Reserva brand in the early 2000’s but was faced with a huge dilemma. At that point, it was either take a chance and put forth efforts (and capital) to introduce his own brand, or concentrate on his newly thriving factory, which was blending and rolling quality private label cigars for other companies.
Luis Sr. decided to sacrifice potential glory for long-term stability for his family. Years later, in 2016, his son Luis Cuevas Jr. convinced his father to create their own line of cigars, Casa Cuevas Cigars. The father and son team decided it was now time for the full-scale distribution of the Cuevas Reserva brand.
The Cuevas Reserva Maduro has a blend described as:
- Wrapper – Mexican San Andres
- Binder – Dominican, Pilloto Cubano
- Filler – Dominican and Nicaraguan (ometepe)
The blend is a personal favorite of Luis Cuevas Sr. as it boasts a full-flavor smoking experience, in a perfectly balanced medium to full bodied cigar.
The Cuevas Reserva Natural has a blend described as:
- Wrapper – Ecuadorean Connecticut
- Binder – Habano
- Filler – Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and the U.S.A.
This blend provides a perfectly smooth smoking experience which features nuanced earthy flavors.
President of Casa Cuevas Cigars, Luis Cuevas Jr. stated:
“The Cuevas Reserve for my father was supposed to be the Cuevas signature brand back well over a decade ago. As with all things in life, plans always change. I am proud to have worked closely with my father and my son Alec Cuevas, who is now part of the family business recreating this blend. I am ecstatic that this brand has come full circle, as we can now present it as a family project to the consumer.”
The Cuevas Reserva’s are beautifully packaged in vintage Cuban style 20 -count boxes.
Both blends will be initially released in three vitolas with more to follow in the future.
- Toro – 6 x 50 MSRP Natural $9.90/ Maduro $10.90
- Torpedo – 6.25 x 52 MSRP Natural $10.40/ Maduro $11.40
- Robusto – 5 x 52 MSRP Natural $9.50/ Maduro $10.50
