Product Introduction
The Vegueros Mañanitas Cigar, from the renowned Vegueros brand, offers an authentic Cuban cigar experience. It's a Robusto - format and Petit Figurado cigar with a 4 - inch length and 46 - ring gauge, providing a medium - bodied smoke.
Appearance
The new logo on the packaging is well - designed. The tan color instead of yellow and bright green instead of dark green make it more appealing. It comes in cardboard packs of 3 or metal tins of 16. The cigar has a medium - brown oily Colorado Claro wrapper with fine veins, a well - made cap, and a firm feel.
Construction
The draw is smooth from start to finish. The burn is mostly straight but may need occasional corrections. It produces a white, slightly flaky ash that doesn't make a mess.
Flavor
- First third: Main flavors are tobacco, earth, and spice, with sweetness, a hint of hay, woodsy notes, and a touch of ammonia.
- Middle third: Flavors become spicier, wood is more pronounced, and there are toasted elements like nuts or bread. The ammonia taste disappears.
- Final third: The consistency is creamy, wood and spice notes intensify. There's a slight bitter edge, and it has a strong nicotine kick, becoming almost full - bodied.
Value
Priced at around $5 - 6 each, it offers good value despite minor flaws.
The Vegueros brand, dating back to 1961 and discontinued in 2012, restarted production with new vitolas and a redesigned image. The Mañanitas is a great option for those seeking an authentic Cuban small cigar.
