The Lusiadas - Portugal Regional Edition 2017 is a distinguished limited-edition cigar created specifically for the Portuguese market. This medium to full-bodied cigar offers a well-balanced and rich flavor profile, featuring prominent notes of roasted nuts and earthy wood, accompanied by a touch of spice. There are also subtle hints of dark chocolate and sweet vanilla, adding layers of complexity to the smoking experience.
