Vegueros Centrogordos Tasting

Vegueros Centrogordos Tasting. I have tasted three copies with the boxing date JUL 23 - high time for the tasting. With 89 ZiZo points in the Pleasure Test, this Cuban cigar already showed that it will need its short maturation period of about 1-2 years. The Vegueros Centrogordos is not only a great cigar, but its compact size makes it a perfect companion for our modern times. I tested three copies and would like to share my impressions with you. The Vegueros Centrogordos will be available in Switzerland from October 24, 2023 at Casa del Habano and from October 31 at Habanos Specialist Stores.

The quality of Vegueros Centrogordos

Excellent! The cigars are well rolled and have a beautiful wrapper. The draw resistance is optimal and the burn was even.

They are packed in a cellophane bundle. The cigars you leave so packed and put them complete with the aluminum box in the humidor. When opening the cellophane me a beguiling, warm tobacco scent discover - fantastic!

The first five minutes

The strength of the cigar is light (2 out of 5 on the scale), which makes it a pleasant choice for beginners and connoisseurs. But beware: it gets stronger as the smoke progresses and ends up with a strength of 3 out of 5. The taste in the first five minutes was already promising, light and pleasant.

The first and second half of the Vegueros Centrogordos

The ash of Vegueros Centrogordos is compact. The ash contains white dots. This is an indication of a particularly aromatic wrapper, because it contains "oil deposits" of the plant.

During smoking, the aftertaste remained subtle and positive, and in two of the tested specimens I could detect a very slight salty aftertaste. The aroma of the smoke was subtle and round, and the flavor showed pleasantly grassy with a slight hint of nuts. Hints of pepper and wood rounded out the flavor experience. There was even a delicate blend of coffee beans and wood on the retrohale.

The enjoyment of the Vegueros Centrogordos was almost linear, but a slight increase in the wood notes was noticeable as it progressed. Already it is an extremely pleasant and uncomplicated cigar. I'm already looking forward to the next tastings in one and two years, when the cigars from the aluminum box will have reached their full maturity. In the meantime, give them some time to mature and you will be rewarded with an even more intense tasting experience.

Conclusion

Now it still tasted a little "rough", but this is not a fault of the cigar. It needs a maturation period of 1-2 years.

I can unreservedly recommend the Vegueros Centrogordos. It is not only a visual delight, but also offers a nice journey in terms of taste. A perfect choice for those who are looking for an uncomplicated, high-quality and inexpensive Cuban cigar.

Enjoy your cigars to the fullest and stay relaxed!

Yours, Vasilij
