Our Cigars

At Bariay 1492, every cigar is a story of trial and error and a labor of love. We do things differently than everyone else. Our flagship blends honor centuries-old Cuban craftsmanship, brought to life through our time-honored extra fermentation processes and trade secret curing techniques. These cigars aren’t just premium smokes—they’re a tribute to heritage, legacy, and the art of doing things the right way.

The Red Label

Reminiscent of the old Cuban cigars cultivated in forgotten fields and inspired by Cuba’s timeless tobacco traditions. Mellow and rich notes of honey and vanilla are the signatures of our premium red. Rolled in classic Cuban fashion for a firm, effortless draw.

The Black Label

Our Maduro is a full-bodied, medium strength premium cigar made with approachability in mind. Due to our unique third fermentation process, we've reduced oils and punch to make this the Maduro for all. Bold in complexity and refined in strength, this cigar provides an easy draw.
