Construction
The cigar was tightly rolled and the wrapper had a slightly oily feel to it.
Wrapper: Ecuador – Binder: Ecuador – Filler: Caribian
Smell and cold draw
The wrapper had a scent of hay while the filler had a fragrence of nuttiness and chocolate. The cold draft gave flavors of maltiness and fruitiness.
Lets light up the Vegas de Santiago gold Label perla cigar to see what it has to offer
The texture was a combination of creaminess and butteriness. The dominant flavors I felt in the cigar were nuttiness, fruitiness, pepperiness that went in the direction of black pepper, cedar, coffee, hay, general woodiness and general sweetness. In the background were shades of classic tobacco and herbs. The retrohalation tickled the nose and gave nuances of cedar and black pepper.

Conclusion
Vegas de Santiago gold Label perla is a lightly smoked cigar that is suitable for days when you don’t want to spend too much energy to feel the flavors. The medium body makes it suitable for most aficionados. If I compare price vs taste vs quality, I think it is where it should be.
