VegaFina 1998 VF 50 Short Robusto Cigar – Single

The VegaFina 1998 VF 50 Short Robusto measures 4 1/2 x 50 and features a dark chocolate-hued Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, an Indonesian binder, and a filler blend of Nicaraguan, Colombian, and Dominican tobaccos. Crafted at the Tabacalera de Garcia factory in the Dominican Republic, this cigar commemorates the VegaFina brand’s 20th anniversary, developed by Altadis USA’s Grupo de Maestros blenders.

Its compact format delivers medium-bodied flavors starting with cedar and cream, transitioning to coffee and chocolate notes, accompanied by subtle spice and nutty sweetness. The Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper contributes to a balanced combustion, while the multi-regional filler blend ensures complexity.

Construction details:

• Consistent draw with even burn from triple-seam cap design
• Firm ash retention due to tightly packed filler leaves
• Smoking time of 40-45 minutes in its 4.5-inch format

This Short Robusto’s efficient format suits shorter smoking sessions without compromising flavor depth. Paired effectively with aged spirits like whiskey or rum, its flavor progression aligns with the structured tannins of barrel-aged drinks. The cigar’s Dominican origin and hybrid tobacco blend make it suited for enthusiasts prioritizing craftsmanship in a condensed smoking format.
