Notes
The first puffs awaken our taste buds with woody notes. As the smoke fills the room, we detect aromas of cocoa that soften slightly to give way to a final third with a coffee-cream flavour.
The cigar anecdote
"Freeze time in a moment of pure bliss. My joy is when you smoke a cigar until your fingers burn."
Marc Niehaus, Vegas de Santiago
About Vegas de Santiago
It all begins in the fields of the Santiago de Puriscal region in Costa Rica. It is here that farmers have been growing the tobacco plants used to make Vegas de Santiago cigars for over 100 years.
The altitude (around 1,100 metres) and the mountainous climate of the region make the use of pesticides unnecessary, allowing work to continue according to centuries-old traditions inherited from the Huetar Indians, who offered tobacco as a sacrifice to the spirits and attributed therapeutic properties to it.
The very strict process of harvesting, selecting, drying and rolling each cigar takes around four years.
The majority 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.
