Villiger de Nicaragua

One cigar is made by Villiger in Nicaragua, the other comes from ABAM in the Dominican Republic. Both have an MSRP of $20 each and are limited to just 4,000 cigars.

This year’s Villiger de Nicaragua Edición Limitada release measures 7 x 52. It’s already on sale in Germany and is expected to go on sale in the U.S. in early 2025.

The Villiger 1888 Nicaragua was one of the first new blends from the Villiger de Nicaragua factory that opened in late 2021. This 6 x 60 is one of three new vitolas for 2024.

On Thursday, May 30, Heinrich Villiger turned 94. A special cigar has been created to honor the achievement.

The two new sizes are the largest for the line, which was introduced last year.

The two new sizes are the longest and thickest sizes for the line. They will ship in May.

The new Gordito size is the fourth size for the line, which was updated in 2021.

The Villiger de Nicaragua Edición Limitada returns for a sophomore release, this time in a 6 x 58 perfecto vitola.

This is the first in what’s expected to be a series of duty-free exclusive cigars.

The new Nicaraguan line debuted last year at InterTabac 2022 in Dortmund. It will debut stateside and be on shelves at American retailers in July.

Day 4 of Puro Sabor featured the official grand opening of a new factory, plus a visit to a factory I haven’t seen in several years.
