Villiger Ships La Flor de Ynclan Lancero Especial, La Vencedora Gordo

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.
