Santiago is the value line in the 1878 family, and the maduro version is the most popular of the pair. A dark, sweet wrapper over Dominican long-filler, sold at a price that makes it easy to keep a box on hand.
Cocoa and cedar with a soft molasses sweetness, medium body, and a burn that behaves. It is not trying to be complicated — it is trying to be the cigar you reach for without thinking about it, and it succeeds.
