Higüeyano Paso horse
The focus is on the horse – in Chinese symbolism, a symbol of Power, freedom, and nobility. VegaFina also connects this motif with the Dominican Republic, where the cigars are manufactured: it pays tribute to the Higüeyano Paso horse, an emblematic horse breed from that region. This means that the New Year theme is not just a label that has been stuck on, but a concept that interlinks origin and idea.
Grupo de Maestros
The edition was created in the Tabacalera de García under the direction of Grupo de Maestros. The mixture focuses on a harmonious composition from tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Ecuador. This does not sound like sensationalism, but rather „balance first“ – a cigar that does not shout, but speaks confidently.
The vitola: large, imposing, with fine details

What makes it special is the cigar headIts shape is reminiscent of the horse's tail. Not a flashy show, but rather a subtle reminiscence that you only really appreciate at second glance—and then never forget.
In the smoke: creamy and woody with a sweet echo
The cigar is aromatic. creamy and woody, plus Hints of coffee, cocoa, and molasses. And at the back, there remains a mildly sweet aftertaste – this quiet finale, which does not „end“ the smoke, but allows it to fade away elegantly.

Each box contains 16 cigars, arranged in two rows of eight each – an allusion to the Lucky number eight in Chinese culture. Worldwide, only 4,300 numbered boxes available.
