Villiger Miami and Exclusivo USA and an Abuelo Cigar
It’s raining, 54 degrees and I’m not having a cigar on the porch as I type this. Autumn is here. Soon I’ll have to close in the porch for the winter, because, you know, I need to have a comfortable place to smoke! Over the last few days I’ve enjoyed some cigars, let’s talk about them a bit.

Villiger TAA, Punch and Partagas Cigars
I was going through some of the newer cigars I have and realized there was one I hadn’t written about yet, but more on that in a bit. I want to start off talking about the new Villiger TAA Exclusive for 2022. This
cigar is interesting for a couple reasons. Foremost, it’s made at Espinosa’s La Zona factory. Villiger has been making cigars with a lot of different companies, Joya de Nicaragua comes to mind, as well as having their own factory in Brazil. Continue reading

Liga Privada H99, Villiger San D’Oro and Nica Rustica Adobe Cigars
Monday was Memorial Day and that called for some special smokes. I pulled out the Liga Privada H99 that Joe Gro of Drew Estate gave me back in January at the TPE show. I’m not sure why I had been waiting to smoke this, but I figured a nice afternoon off was a great time to light it up. Continue reading
Villiger TAA 2020 Exclusive Cigar
Villiger has a couple of firsts with this cigar. It’s their first TAA cigar, exclusive to participating Tobacconists’ Association of America stores. Looking at the listing on the website, I’m not entirely sure they have the name right, they have it listed as “Villiger 1888 Edicion Regional USA”, where the band just says TAA Exclusive 2020. Considering this second point, it doesn’t have any relationship with the Villiger 1888, except that it’s made in the Dominican Republic. The second first for Villiger is that this is the first time they’ve worked with Ernesto Perez Carrillo Jr. to produce a cigar. It’s a box pressed toro, 6” x 54, with an Ecuador Sumatra wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. Continue reading

Villiger Do Brasil Maduro and Claro Cigars
I brought home samples of the new Villiger Do Brasil cigars from the TPE show, then a week later a pair showed up in my mailbox, so I’ve had a couple of each in the humidor now for several weeks resting. I had the opportunity to try the cigars at the show, Villiger hosted an excellent party at the TPE with some great food and entertainment that meandered between brilliant and not so much, all the while being entertaining one way or the other. Since I was there communing with friends, I smoked a more familiar cigar, the Cuellar Black Forrest, which I really like. I spent a very nice evening catching up with my friends Will Cooper, Aaron Loomis and Juinn Liu as well as seeing a bunch of other cigar industry folks. Good times. Continue reading
