The Cabanas brand was registered in 1810 by the Spaniard Francisco Cabanas, making it one of the oldest Habano marks known. In 1895 he joined other manufacturers to develop an new trademark: Hija de Cabanas y Carbajal y Cia.

The cigar produced by this brand today, with tobacco from the Vuelta Arriba area,is richly flavoured with a full bodied palate and a toasty after taste. It is either completely machine made or machine bundled with a hand finished style.
