The Rake Vig

Handcrafted in Estelí, Nicaragua, The Rake Vig cigar displays exemplary blending that produces a medium-full bodied smoke brimming with flavor. Starting with a core of Nicaraguan long-fillers from the fertile Jalapa valley, this cigar gets wrapped in a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf that adds sweet notes of coffee and cocoa.

The Rake Vig is a box-pressed gordo, measuring 6 inches by 60 ring. The wrapper leaf is thick and veiny with a toothy feel, promising rich smoke. A single straight cap finishes off the cigar’s clean lines.

Upon lighting, you’ll be greeted by flavors of earth, nuts and leather. As the Rake Vig progresses, it gains strength while layers of spice and sweetness develop. The second third sees the emergence of mocha and pepper as the Nicaraguan tobacco shows its power. By the final third, The Rake Vig is in full swing – a hearty, powerful smoke layered with coffee, nuts and pepper.

The Rake Vig manages an elegant balance – just enough spice to keep things interesting without overpowering the sweeter notes of cocoa and espresso. For medium-full bodied cigar smokers, this gordo-shaped stogie delivers bold Nicaraguan flavor in a sophisticated profile.
