Right on schedule, two new sizes of the Villiger 1888 Nicaragua line have begun shipping.
On May 1, Villiger Cigars North America began shipping the new 1888 Nicaragua Churchill and Gordo to retailers. Blend-wise, they use a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Pennslyvania. The line is produced at Villiger de Nicaragua, the company’s factory in Nicaragua, which is run in partnership with Joya de Nicaragua.
- Villiger 1888 Nicaragua Churchill (7 x 47) — $9.60 (Box of 20, $192)
- Villiger 1888 Nicaragua Gordo (6 x 60) — $10 (Box of 20, $200)
Both sizes were shown off to retailers at the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show in late March.
Villiger introduced the 1888 Nicaragua line last year in three sizes.
