VegaFina Fortaleza 2 Doble Capote Limited Edition 2022

The VegaFina Fortaleza 2 Doble Capote, as its name implies, features two binders; capote is the Spanish word for binder. One of the binder leaves hails from the Dominican Republic, and the other from Nicaragua, each are aged for four years. Covering them is a stunningly smooth Ecuadorian wrapper, and a deliciously complex filler blended from Dominican tobaccos.

The VegaFina Fortaleza 2 Doble Capote is offered in a 5 7/8 x 54 box-pressed toro extra size. Notably, this is the first box-pressed VegaFina cigar ever. The company says that box-pressed cigars aren’t common outside of the U.S. and VegaFina is a brand that is targeted at non-American markets. Each cigar was pressed for 30-60 minutes in molds at the Tabacalera de García factory in La Romana, Dominican Republic.

There are 3.960 boxes of 12 cigars produced for this release.
