Vega Magna Toro Cigar (6 x 50)

Manuel Quesade became the first cigar manufacturer to work out of the Santiago Free Trade Zone in the Dominican Republic when he launched his Manufactura de Tabacos S.A. cigar factory there in 1974. The story goes that he made it all happen armed only "with $100, a chair, and a phone!" With over 50 years now in the business, his children, nieces, and nephews have now begun working in the business as well to carry the company to the next generations.

Vega Magna is produced in small quantities on a limited basis, featuring a blend of tobaccos that a portion of have been aging in tercios since 2001. A tercio is a traditional Cuban method of aging tobaccos in palm bark-wrapped bales. Each of the cigars are rolled by a single roller and buncher pair. The blend features an Ecuadorian Sun-Grown wrapper overtop of Dominican Secos, Visos, and Ligero tobaccos. Packaged in boxes of 10, the bottom of each box has art made by Dominican artist Pragmy Marichal that can be easily removed and placed wherever looks best in your home. This cigar is available in a Toro and a Robusto, shown here is the Toro.
