Villiger 1888 Gran Reserva
Toro
Toro · 60–75 min smoke · A longer robusto — more time for the blend to evolve through its thirds without committing to a Churchill.
At the counter · Wide guillotine, patient -toast, smoke unhurried — the length rewards a slow burn through each third.

“The 1888 Gran Reserva may come off as a bit bolder than many other Villiger offerings, yet it remains quite approachable. It strikes a nice balance, making it suitable for novice smokers while still satisfying those who lean towards fuller-bodied cigars.”Read on Cigar Coop
