Vegas de Santiago Gran Reserva Maria la Gorda

The Vegas de Santiago Gran Reserva Maria la Gorda features an imposing format of 127 mm in length and a diameter of 26.2 mm, a presentation that leaves no one indifferent. Its Ecuadorian wrapper, fine and satin-like, offers a pleasant texture to the touch. The visual aspect is both alluring and reassuring, promising a quality experience.

From the first contact, its pre-light aromas evoke notes of wood and coffee, interwoven with a gentle hint of caramel. Upon lighting, fragrances of hazelnut blossom, creating a promise of aromatic complexity. The initial approach, with its spicy and light effluvia, engages us in a captivating sensory journey.

On the palate, the cigar unfolds elegantly, traversing three harmonious thirds. The first third reveals a sweet and creamy blend, while as it progresses, the balance stabilizes towards richer notes of coffee influenced by hazelnut. The nuances evolve with touches of pepper and honey in the second third, adding depth without ever compromising that state of persistent sweetness.

The finish is particularly remarkable, with a medium mouthfeel offering a residual sweetness that invites savoring each inhalation. The strength/sweetness balance is well mastered, making this cigar unique and accessible, even to novices. The burn is satisfactory, with a grey ash color and a texture that underscores the quality of its tobaccos.

Ideal for enjoying during a leisurely afternoon moment, this cigar pairs perfectly with black tea or light coffee, thereby highlighting its sweet natural notes while enriching your overall experience.
