What is vegueros?

Vegueros is a brand of cigar produced in Cuba by the state-owned tobacco company, Habanos S.A. The name "veguero" means "tobacco farmer" in Spanish, and the brand is named after the farmers who grow tobacco in the Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba, which is considered one of the best in the world for growing cigar tobacco. Vegueros cigars were first introduced in 1996, and were initially only available in Cuba. In recent years, the brand has become more widely available around the world. The cigars are known for their medium strength, rich flavor, and affordable price point. They are made using tobacco from the Vuelta Abajo region, and are typically hand-rolled in Cuba. The brand offers several different sizes and blends, including the popular Vegueros Tapados and the newer Vegueros Centros.
