Villiger Adding Limited Edition San’Doro Diademas
Villiger has announced a new limited edition diademas vitola for its two San’Doro lines, the Claro and Colorado.
The new vitola measures 6 x 58, though that ring gauge comes from the cigar’s thickest point. Both the head and foot taper down to smaller ring gauges.
The company is producing just 300 boxes, each of which contains five each of the San’Doro Claro and the San’Doro Colorado. Each cigar is priced at $15, while boxes come with a MSRP of $150, before taxes. The cigars are produced at Fabrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A. in Estelí.
The blends of the two cigars are similar, with Nicaraguan tobacco used for the binder and filler of each. The medium-bodied Claro uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, while an Ecuadorian habano leaf is used for the Colorado to give it a fuller profile. The company also offers the San’Doro line in a maduro version, though that cigar is a Brazilian puro.
The Villiger San’Doro Diademas are shipping to retailers today.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
