Vegueros – Centrofinos (Tin of 16) – Sautter of Mount Street

The brand was relaunched in 2013 with a slightly lighter medium bodied blend in new sizes and presented in unique tins of 16 cigars. Since then packs of 4 cigars have also been introduced. Vegueros translates into English as ‘Farmers’ and these cigars have happily maintained their rustic edge. The names of each of the new vitolas have also taken inspiration from the Cuban farmers’ vocabulary and the “Centrofinos” is no Centro Fino is a classification for the leaves of the sun grown tobacco plant taken around mid way up the plant.
