I really enjoy the Vega Fina 1998 line and grab them by the box. Thought I would get a 5pk of these and try them out. Solid cigar at a great price. Especially with the Oxford Premier price. A more mild cigar with coffee, cinnamon spice, and a beautiful natural sweetness.

I really enjoyed the profile here, very similar to the Illusione Epernay D’osta. Effervescent, some citrus, milk chocolate, coffee, and just a hit of white pepper. Further in you get some clove and other various bakers spices, but it retained a nice sweetness to hold things together all the way through. It was a pretty open draw and a quick burner, but I wouldn’t hesitate to smoke it again.
