Press Release: Vegafina Launch

VEGAFINA 1998 VF46

A classic vitola for the brand’s most premium line

VegaFina 1998, the line of aged cigars from VegaFina whose name commemorates the year of creation of the brand, extends its range with “VF46”, a new vitola that is added to the brand’s standard portfolio.

With this launch, VegaFina proposes aficionados a cigar with a ring gauge of 46 x 143 mm length; a timeless vitola, thinner than the previous ones, ideal for enjoying all the flavour of the 1998 line in, approximately, one hour of smoking.

Created as the brand’s most premium line, 1998 offers cigars hand-made with tobacco leaves carefully selected and aged for at least 3 years. A delicate process as a result of the thorough work carried out by the Grupo de Maestros of Tabacalera de García, the factory located in the Dominican town of La Romana. The result is a sophisticated blend that provides the cigar a unique and balanced character that is recognisable by its intense aroma and its refined and rich flavour full of nuances.

VegaFina 1998 VF46 is presented in the line’s wrapped box, characterized by its elegant presentation in which its ivory textured paper and the VegaFina’s bright red logo stand out.

This new launch will be available worldwide in the next months.

Since its launch 3 years ago, VegaFina 1998 has become a real success story. A success due to its quality, its image and its distinctive blend of aged tobaccos, that are offered to aficionados in four vitolas whose names refer to their ring gauges: VF 50; VF52; VF54 and now, VF46.  A CUM LAUDE cigar with presence in already more than 30 countries and that is backed by the main industry’s leading experts.
