The Vegueros brand has been on the market since 1996, but was relaunched in a completely new form in 2014. Since then, it has been divided into three compact formats: Entretiempos, Tapados and small Figurados, the so-called Maanitas. They are produced in the "Francisco Donatién" factory in the heart of Pinar del Rio, the tobacco centre of Cuba.
The tobacco planter is called a veguero in Spanish. If he did not exist, there would be no tobacco for cigars.
His work is difficult and time-consuming.
During a growing season, he has to check and care for each of the usually hundreds of thousands of plants on a plantation more than 150 times.
The "Vegueros" brand honours these vital workers who have been growing tobacco in Pinar del Rio for centuries.
Although the brand has been on the market since 1996, it was relaunched in 2014 in a completely new form, with three new shapes, a new design and unique packaging.
Since then, it has been divided into three compact formats: entretiempos, tapados and small figurados, known as maanitas.
Perfect were also the cigar blends, which are more harmonious and lighter than the original shapes.
They are classified by Habanos as mild to strong.
They are produced in the "Francisco Donatién" factory in the heart of the Cuban tobacco centre Pinar del Rio according to the traditional method "totalmente a mano" - completely by hand - which is still practised exclusively in Cuba.
This small business has been in operation since 1868, although it has only been used as a cigar factory since 1961.
All formats of the "Trinidad" brand are also produced here.
Since 2018, there has been a new format - the Vegueros Centrofinos, which bears the same production name (Vitola de Galera).
This type has a length of 130 mm and a ring gauge of 50.
Medium to strong taste
