in each case is a carefully selected
blend of several tobaccos from the former Dutch East Indies and Brazil.
The character and flavour of each cigar is defined by its wrapper, each with its own typical colour:

Rick Hacker says: “In many ways the wrapper is the most important part of the cigar, not just because it provides 30% to 60% of the flavour, but also because it is the embodiment of the cigar’s total character”.
Capa de Cuba - The richest and most sought after cigar leaf comes from Cuba – the wrapper (Capa) offers a true Cuban flavour without being too heavy. Rich and spicy – a fine fusion of 2 distinct natural flavours.
Maduro Brazil – Extra matured leaf – full-flavoured - slightly sweeter to some palates.
Claro Sumatra – Classic Dutch-type cigar. Smooth and light – the mildest of the three.Each cigar is cedarwood-wrapped, then cellophaned – the cedar enhances the flavour and provides a convenient spill for lighting.
I think that you’ll find that these cigars through their different wrappers really fulfil the Vasco da Gama slogan “Discover a new world”, and lead you to 3 different areas of the cigar world.
They provide an ideal opportunity for the cigar smoker to experience the different types of flavour
under equal conditions.
New Tobacco Control Legislation 4 Prohibitions in respect of tobacco products (5) (a) No person shall sell, offer to sell, supply, distribute or buy any tobacco product through the postal services, the internet or any other electronic media.
(b) The prohibition contained in paragraph (a) does not apply to any commercial communication between a tobacco manufacturer or importer and its trade partners, business partners, employees and shareholders.Until we have obtained clarity on these points we will have to suspend our “Across the Counter” articles – and we are removing the “BUY NOW” option from all pure tobacco products on the website.

Top of the range – slightly thicker than the usual Corona – natural binder and wrapper.
I amputated a centimetre off each foot and opened it up.
Capa de Cuba • Claro Sumatra • Maduro Brazil
Pack of 3 : 52-VdGTub03 R272.95
The average size of the filler pieces was bigger than I expected, and each blend had its own distinctive aroma. When I smoked the rest of the cigar, the different tastes were quite apparent, and the experience most enjoyable.
Quality, easy-burning cigars in classic corona format. The filler is a blend of harmonious tobaccos, with a homogenised tobacco leaf binder. The different wrappers give quite distinct flavours.

This is the size to smoke before dinner, on a game drive, or on any occasion when time is short.
