Vegueros Centrogordos

The Vegueros Centrogordos opens with a rich and medium-bodied profile of toasted cedar, sweet spices, and subtle earthiness, establishing a balanced and inviting foundation. The retrohale delivers gentle white pepper with notes of honey, leather, and toasted nuts, adding aromatic complexity and warmth. As the cigar progresses into the second third, flavors of caramelized sugar, roasted almonds, and light cocoa emerge, enriching the smooth texture and nuanced layers. The final third finishes with notes of dark chocolate, espresso crema, and a lingering oak finish, delivering a satisfying and well-rounded conclusion.
