On Monday, the second Villiger U.S.A. Exclusivo release began shipping to stores.

The Villiger Exclusivo U.S.A. 2022 is a Nicaraguan puro that uses a habano rosado wrapper over a binder from Jalapa and fillers from Condega, Estelí and Jalapa. It is made at the La Zona Cigar Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

There are two box-pressed sizes available, limited to 500 boxes.

  • Villiger Exclusivo U.S.A. 2022 Toro (6 x 52) — $13 (Box of 20, $260)
  • Villiger Exclusivo U.S.A. 2022 Torpedo (6 x 54) — $13 (Box of 20, $260)

Villiger released its first Exclusivo U.S.A. in 2020; that blend was produced by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr.’s Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. Earlier this year, Villiger used the La Zona factory for its release for the Tobacconists’ Association of America ESP program.
