Two new Villiger line extensions are heading to stores, one thin and one thick.

Both cigars debuted at the 2018 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show last month and both are part of Villiger’s two newest lines. The La Flor de Ynclan, which launched last year, is getting a Lancero Especial. At 6 3/4 x 43, it’s technically closer to a lonsdale, but the new size gets a lancero moniker.

It uses the same blend as the rest of the line: an Ecuadorian wrapper over an Indonesian binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. Production is limited to 500 boxes of 25 cigars and it is priced at $11 per cigar.

In addition, the La Vencedora line—which was launched earlier this year—gets a new size in the form of a 6 x 60 gordo. That blend is a Nicaraguan puro made at Joya de Nicaragua.

It’s priced at $10.50 per cigar.
