Villiger Cigars was established in 1888 by Jean Villiger in the small town of Pfeffikon, Switzerland. Villiger remains headquartered in Pfeffikon to this day. The company manufactures and sells more than 1.5 billion cigars worldwide annually.
This little gem is a tribute to Christopher Columbus, the original explorer who brought tobacco’s magic back to Europe in 1492. The Short Perfecto keeps that spirit alive — modest in strength but rich in character, it’s like a smooth sailing voyage in a cigar.
Wrapped in a silky Colorado leaf grown in Ecuador, this medium-strength beauty sports a sharp little peaked head and a construction so neat you’ll swear it was rolled by a master craftsman on an island paradise. Draw resistance is just right — not too tight to frustrate, not too loose to bore.
Expect a 45-minute journey through toasted nuts, warm wood, and a whisper of earthy sweetness that dances on your palate like a gentle Caribbean breeze. It’s balanced, elegant, and a perfect bite-sized indulgence for when you want a bit of adventure without committing to a full voyage.
Beautiful light wrapper, mild slow smoking perfecto that avoids some of the vegetal flavors common in Dominican cigars. For me, a middle of the road long lasting cigar that I enjoyed from start to finish. A nice choice when you have the time to smoke for an hour. Thumbs up in all departments
