Vegas de Santiago D8 Limited Edition Culebras Paz & Amistad

With the Vegas de Santiago D8 Culebra, Marc Niehaus introduces a rare cigar format to Germany. This intricately intertwined trio impresses not only with its extraordinary design but also with its complex aroma. Produced at the Vegas de Santiago factory, this limited edition combines filler tobaccos from Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Peru, while the binder and wrapper come from Ecuador. The name “Edición Paz y Amistad” symbolizes the spirit of sharing—perfect for enjoying special moments in good company.

Vegas de Santiago D8 Culebra – A Unique Cigar Format

The Colorado wrapper from Ecuador appears silky-matte and oily with a fine texture, revealing grassy and leathery notes on the cold draw. Upon lighting, an initial subtle spiciness unfolds, which quickly transitions into harmonious aromas of cedarwood and pastry. In the second third, nutty roasted notes emerge before giving way to bolder nuances of coffee and Mediterranean herbs toward the end. The cigar’s distinctive curvature affects the stability of the ash but does not interfere with an even burn. With a smoking time of around an hour, the D8 Culebra offers an exotic and sociable smoking experience that captivates not only with its shape but also with its unique blend.
