The "Short Salomones" format of the Vegas de Santiago D8 cigar offers a concentrated yet rich experience, perfect for a gourmet break lasting approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. Wrapped in a Habano 2000 leaf over Ecuadorian binder leaves and a blend of tobaccos from Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Peru, it stands out for its impeccable construction and remarkable draw. Upon lighting, it reveals aromas of light wood, freshly roasted coffee, and sweet cocoa. Midway through the tasting, notes of honey, roasted nuts, and raisins emerge, accompanied by an elegant cedar undertone. The finish becomes spicier, with a subtle retro-hale of white pepper and a lightly smoked earthiness, never becoming aggressive. Thanks to its "medium" yet dense balance and distinctive format, it will captivate both enthusiasts seeking a quick tasting moment and those wishing to explore the richness of Costa Rican tobaccos in a shorter duration.
