VSG — Virgin Sun Grown — uses a Dominican wrapper leaf grown by the Fuente family at Château Fuente under direct sunlight, without shade cloth. Sun-grown leaves are thicker, oilier, and more intensely flavoured. One of the most critically acclaimed Dominican cigars ever made.

Tasting notes: Leather, dark fruit, cedar, earth, dark spice, tobacco complexity. Full-bodied and rich.
