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.
The VILLIGER 1888 line celebrates the year the brand was born, and this new Nicaragua Perfecto fits right in with the legacy. It carries a medium strength that doesn’t shout but quietly offers a smooth, aromatic ride. Expect subtle leather and pepper notes, with a touch of chocolate and honey that keeps things interesting without being over the top. It comes in a sleek dark blue box holding 20 cigars—a neat addition to any humidor looking for a bit of class. Four sizes in the range make it easy to pick your preferred format, but this Perfecto shape has a certain charm that’s hard to beat.
For me, this is like smoking the Goodyear Blimp...These big non Cuban smokes seem to get better when they get bigger. I am trying to get comfortable just holding & puffing this behemoth, but i gotta admit, the taste & draw are awesome. The big ring size promotes a very cool & smooth draw, the retrohale is beautiful, they hit the nail on the head with the blend & it was rolled by a master. I dont smoke many cigars this big, but this is a fine cigar by any measure. Thanks, Kate & TopCubans for a really special reward!
