This three-piece sampler from VegaFina delivers Dominican craftsmanship in robusto format (5"x50), featuring distinct Cameroon and Ecuadorian wrappers. The assortment contains: #1 Mild Blend (creamy cedar), #2 Medium Blend (caramel coffee), and #3 Full Blend (spiced leather). Ideal for explorers wanting variety without committing to full boxes.
First Third: Immediate wrapper differences - #1 shows oily sheen vs #3's toothy texture. All three maintain solid ash lines. #2 needs most frequent touch-ups.
Middle Third: #1 develops walnut bitterness without sweetness. #3's Nicaraguan ligero creates visible nicotine oil rings. Smoke output varies - #2 generates thickest plumes.
Final Third: #1 turns grassy (stop at 45min). #3's leather intensifies with charred oak. All blends show tight draw requiring perfect humidity.
The Ecuadorian wrapper on #2 showed minimal veins but prone to cracking at 65% RH. #3's Cameroon leaf held best combustion. All cigars benefited from dry-boxing 8 hours pre-smoke.
