Tasting notes

The VegaFina 1998 Vintage 1 VF 40, with its dimensions of 155.6 mm in length and 15.9 mm in diameter, presents itself as a work of art. Its Ecuadorian wrapper, with a satin texture and dark hue, immediately catches the eye, while the wrapper indicates impeccable care and quality of craftsmanship. In hand, it exudes a pleasant firmness, promising a captivating tasting experience.

At the first olfactory contact, the complexity of the aromas reveals itself. Pre-light, you will be charmed by notes of coffee and cedar, which intensify upon lighting. The first puff offers a slight spiciness that quickly fades, giving way to a warm fragrance. The aromas of cocoa gradually emerge, providing a beautiful aromatic depth from the very first moments.

On the palate, the development of flavors unfolds harmoniously, organized into three distinct thirds. In the first third, the experience begins with wood and earth, followed by a crescendo of creamy and highly aromatic notes. The midsection is marked by accents of pepper and black pepper, adding a touch of vibrancy. The final third reveals a more robust character, with nuances of chocolate and a hint of chili, enriching the overall profile while maintaining great coherence.

The finish is marked by a persistent sensation in the mouth, brilliantly balancing strength and sweetness. The length is medium, leaving room for a slight bitterness and a residual sweetness that invites you to savor every moment of the smoke. What makes this cigar unique is its exceptional balance, delighting smokers in search of complexity.

Ideal for an end-of-day tasting, paired with a light whisky or black coffee, this cigar stands out as the perfect companion for moments of sharing.
