Tasting notes
The Villiger 1492 Discovery Edition Gran Toro, with its eloquent size of 152.4 mm (6"), is a prime example of Ecuadorian craftsmanship. Its Connecticut Shade wrapper in a light hue reveals a soft texture to the touch, while the design of the band perfectly complements the whole, thus confirming the quality of the Villiger brand.
From the first contact, you will be captivated by the delicate aroma of this cigar. Pre-light, the nose is awakened by notes of fresh grass, walnut, and cedar. Upon lighting, the aromas evolve into nuances of honey and spices, promising a rich and enjoyable experience.
On the palate, the Villiger 1492 presents a fascinating aromatic progression through its three thirds. The beginning is smooth, with flavors of walnut and herbal nuances, developing in the second third with increased strength, while never losing its delicacy. Earthy and slightly sweet accents enrich the profile, while the final third reveals an even better balance, with more pronounced notes of cedar and a fine touch of roasting.
The final sensation in the mouth is marked by a finish of medium duration, where the balance between sweetness and fine spices fully expresses itself, leaving a pleasant memory. This cigar is undoubtedly a precious choice for fans of mild cigars, and it stands out for its excellent construction.
Ideal to savor during a quiet afternoon, the Villiger 1492 pairs perfectly with a light green tea or a fruity white wine for a truly delicate experience.
