Vegas de Santiago Chaman

The tasting quickly takes us on a pleasant and subtle freshness of nuts and cedar. Its supple, controlled rhythm accompanies the aficionado in a meditative introspection.

Marc Niehaus is without doubt the most creative cigar producer in Costa Rica! With the D8s, produced in a host of variations and modules, each as varied as the next, we now have a great classic on offer: The my(s)thic Chaman. This blend, produced back in the early 2000s, has been redesigned by Marc to ensure that this incredible cigar lasts. Crowned with a golden ring bearing the head of a tiger (Costa Rica's animal emblem) and the colours of the national flag, this cigar is a real eye-catcher.

Tasting note

Notes

The tasting quickly takes us on a pleasant and subtle freshness of nuts and cedar. Its smooth, controlled rhythm accompanies the aficionado in a meditative introspection. If you close your eyes, you could almost feel the power of the tropical forest at the foot of the Arenal volcano. Notes of espresso and pastries round off a tasting experience in which the spirit has joined nature. In the end, this Shaman brought us much more than a simple tasting...



Vegas de Santiago

It all begins in the fields of the Santiago de Puriscal region of Costa Rica. This is where farmers have been growing the tobacco plants used to make Vegas de Santiago cigars for over 100 years.

The altitude (around 1,100m) and mountainous climate of the region make the use of pesticides unnecessary, which means that we can continue to work according to age-old traditions inherited from the Huetar Indians, who gave tobacco as an offering to the spirits and attributed therapeutic virtues to it.

The very strict process of harvesting, selecting, drying and rolling each cigar takes around four years.

Most of the leaves used in VdS cigars come from the factory's own plantations. Other leaves specially selected for certain cigars may be added. These generally come from Nicaragua, Ecuador or the Caribbean.
