The Villiger Miami 2022, a new limited edition line that has its roots in a cigar given out to guests visiting the company’s Miami office, is set to head to stores on Monday, Aug. 22.
The line uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut desflorado wrapper over a Dominican binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic, a blend created by José Matias Maragoto at the ABAM Cigar Factory in the Domincian Republic.
It is offered in two vitolas:
- Villiger Miami 2022 Laguito No.1 (7 1/2 x 38) — $15 (Box of 10, $150)
- Villiger Miami 2022 Robusto (5 x 50) — $15 (Box of 10, $150)
“We named the cigars Villiger Miami 2022 because, since the beginning of 2021, it has been the cigar we give to our friends, customers and colleagues when they visit our Miami office,” said Rene Castaneda, president of Villiger Cigars North America, told halfwheel earlier this year.
Production is limited to 500 boxes of each size. The company showed the cigar at the 2022 PCA Convention & Trade Show in July.
