VF 1998 commemorates the VegaFina brand\u2019s more than two decade run, from its beginnings in La Romana, Dominican Republic at the famed Tabacalera De Garcia \u2013 to today\u2019s recognition as a global brand. With a reputation built on impeccable construction at a stellar price point, the VegaFina brand is also one of the best-selling cigar brands in Europe.<\/p>\n
Hand crafted by the same Grupo De Maestros behind the iconic Romeo y Julieta, Montecristo and H. Upmann brands, VegaFina are handmade premium cigars celebrated by adult aficionados across the globe for their affordability and excellence.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an exciting time for the VegaFina brand, says Jennifer True, AUSA\u2019s senior brand manager. \u201cWe know the VF 1998 will resonate with adult consumers looking for a great looking signature smoke that is both high-quality and competitively priced.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a way, we have been working on this cigar for over 20 years,\u201d explains Pedro Ventura, a member of the Grupo De Maestro for Tabacalera USA. \u201cSince the brand\u2019s inception shortly before the turn of the century, we have taken our learnings from various blends to develop a cigar with just the right characteristics for the VF 1998. We are very proud of the result.\u201d<\/p>\n
The VF 1998 is made of tobaccos born from proprietary tobacco fields in five regions: Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Colombia, Indonesia and Ecuador.<\/p>\n
The VF 1998 can rightfully be referred to as a cum laude cigar. As anyone who has attended a graduation ceremony knows, cum laude in Latin means \u201cwith distinction,\u201d a phrase used to represent a high level of achievement. For the VF 1998, this distinction is achieved through a sophisticated blend of tobacco leaves that have been carefully selected and aged for at least four years.<\/p>\n
This aging process provides the cigar a unique and balanced character that is recognizable by its rich, complex aroma and its flavor, with a gentle and refined mix of distinctive and intense nuances \u2013 a new level of complexity achieved for the VegaFina brand.<\/p>\n
The VF 1998 will be presented in boxes of 10 and will include a range of three popular vitolas whose names refer to the cigar ring gauges: VF 50; VF 52 and VF 54 with an MSRP range between $8.60 – $9.60. Initially available to retailers on Altadis U.S.A\u2019s Connect 360\u00b0 trade program and Casa De Montecristo retail stores.<\/p>\n
