For wine, there are famous grape varieties which have taken the world by storm. The same applies in the case of cigars. They use the finest tobaccos in order to provide the greatest possible enjoyment. For Villiger, pure love for the product, skilful work and striving for quality are what they base on. Only the best selected Cuban seed tobaccos are used, offering the rich, smooth flavour of the 2 flavourful wrappers, Sumatra natural and Brazilian maduro.Villiger started in 1888, when Jean Villiger opened a small cigar manufactory in Switzerland. At the suggestion of his wife, the villiger kiel was introduced. This cigar with a mouthpiece helps to keep the loose tobacco out of the mouth. Today, the kiel is still the ?mother of all mouthpiece cigars.Villiger is the only cigar company that imports Cuban tobacco to Europe. This makes them the only company which imports Cuban tobacco legally!It is fair to say that a cigar is designed for a particular market. Cuban cigars are for specialists with deep pockets. They last long, are aromatic and long-lasting. Of the Villiger, it is fair to say that it is pungent, giving off a good quantity of smoke. It is not the cigar for the secret smoker to try. He would be detected in a moment. No. It is a square-shaped cigar in cross-section. It is about four or five inches in length and should give a good half-an-hour of smoking, if not puffed at in an exaggerated manner. It is mild to smoke, but rich to taste, though it must be emphasised that it is not a Cuban cigar and it would not be mistaken for one. Nonetheless, it is a satisfying smoke which does not unwrap itself as some other, popular cigars do. One does not end up with small amounts of tobacco spilling out as also happens with other, thinner, cheaper cigars and it can be left in the reasonable expectation that it will still be in pretty much the same state if you walk away and leave it in the ashtray.
