Description
At the end of 2019, VegaFina presented its newest premium line of cigars, VegaFina 1998. Its name is a reference to the year of the brand's creation, as carefully selected tobacco leaves aged for a minimum of 3 years are used for the production. The delicate process is entrusted to the Grupo de Maestros of Tabacalera de García, the largest cigar factory in the Dominican Republic, located in the town of La Romana. "In a sense, we have been working on this cigar for more than 20 years," explains Pedro Ventura, a member of Grupo de Maestros. characteristics for VegaFina 1998. We are very proud of the result.” VegaFina 1998 are handmade premium cigars with a unique blend, for which only tobaccos born from their own tobacco fields are used in five regions: Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Colombia, Indonesia and Ecuador. The additional fermentation process gives the cigar an extremely balanced character that is easily recognizable by its rich and complex aroma and taste. Initially, the line started with three popular vitolas, whose names are associated with the size of their rings: VF 50, VF 52 and VF 54, gradually being supplemented. The latest additions are the VF44S - the smallest vitola in the line and the VF42L - born as a limited vintage edition, but deservedly becoming part of the standard portfolio of the brand.
