The Vegafina Nicaragua Robusto Tubed is a robusto that embodies the essence of Nicaraguan terroir. It’s a fine robusto that effortlessly balances strength and sophistication.
Presented in a sturdy aluminium tube, it’s convenient to carry in a jacket pocket, whether you’re strolling along the seafront or attending an evening gathering with friends.
Rolled entirely with Nicaraguan tobaccos, including sun-grown wrappers, binders, and long fillers, this cigar offers a bold yet balanced smoke. The first third introduces earthy notes and a hint of black pepper, which soon gives way to warm cedar, roasted nuts, and a soft underlying sweetness. The smoke builds gracefully, never becoming aggressive, but with enough backbone to keep seasoned smokers engaged until the very end of the band.
Contrary to popular belief that Vegafina is a milder brand, their Nicaraguan line demonstrates their versatility and ability to deliver exceptional cigars when the occasion demands it. This robusto, measuring 5 inches by a 50 ring gauge, is a well-proportioned choice for those who appreciate a richer profile without the need for a full Churchill’s commitment.
As part of the Altadis banner, Vegafina is produced at the Tabacalera de García factory, one of the world’s largest tobacco factories. However, this particular blend feels like it originates from a smaller, more intimate setting, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality control. The consistent burn, easy draw, and tidy ash are evident, making it a solid choice for both new smokers seeking to transition to fuller-bodied cigars and seasoned smokers looking for a reliable daily smoke.
The elegant tubo also makes it an ideal gift, suitable for travel, or simply for keeping fresh in your humidor.
