HISTORY
Since 1845, the Robaina family has farmed tobacco continuously on its precious vegas (fields) at Cuchillas de Barbacoa situated in the San Luis district of the Vuelta Abajo tobacco zone.
Vegas Robaina cigars were introduced in 1997 as a tribute to Cuban tobacco farmers through the figurehead of Don Alejandro Robaina, whose reputation in his day for producing the finest wrapper leaves was legendary. In effect, the brand honours all the anonymous tobacco growers whose
Knowledge and skill make Havanas what they are today.
All of the medium to full flavoured Vegas Robaina vitolas are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.
There is no better shape than this Pirámide or torpedo to deliver the richness of Vegas Robaina’s medium to full blend. A tribute to all the farmers of Vuelta Abajo.
TASTING NOTES
This Pirámides is a nice medium-to-full smoke, delivering rich flavours of earth, toasted cedar, leather, and black pepper, with hints of nutmeg and creamy sweetness.
Its complexity and power are ideally paired with a full-bodied XO Cognac or a heavily-peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
