    Thumbs up Villiger 1888

    In robusto size. A nice wrapper, strange smell, but nice, foot was spicy, good construction. I'd only smoked villiger cigarillos before and this cigar was really good (in comparison ) nice draw, a different taste than anything I've ever smoked before, almost herbal, I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but it grew on me, a taste with layers. I'm going to get a box

    Well... Since I don't know what you taste, since you haven't described any flavors. I don't know what 'layers' you're talking about...

    Bottom line - all I know after this review is you know you smoked a villager 1888 Robusto and it was a different taste than you'd ever smoked before. Perhaps you could be a bit more descriptive so that I'm tempted to give the cigar a try.

    Sorry, i have to admit i'm still not sure how to describe the villiger. It was a tobacco taste, not infused like an acid, but unique in MY limited experience....if pressed I'd say floral/leather

    I've smoked a pile of the Villiger 1888 ( perla) - I think Vegetal is the word your looking for.
    Thats not an uncommon taste profile for Connecticut wrapper Dominicans.
