Villiger Cigars Cabareté Maduro – Cigar Review

Villiger Cigars – Cabareté Maduro

I finally decided to open the sample pack from Villiger Cigars I received at this years IPCPR and run the Cabareté Maduro through the Stogie Press test. The Cabarete is one of the 3 new lines of cigars Villiger has introduced in 2014. The other 2 are the Trill the Cuellar Connecticut Kreme.  They are the first new lines for Villiger since the new Director of Marketing, Fabian Barrantes, came over from Boutique Blends.

Villiger Cigars – Cabaret

 

Sitting in my Gar Cave, I examine the new Villiger Cabareté.  Running the barrel along my nose I pick up the scent of sweet hay, a good sign that this was going to be a treat. This required some music to complete the scene, so I cued up some Aerosmith Vinyl and sat back to enjoy the experience.

The Villiger Cabareté is a beautiful box pressed veinless Nicaraguan Maduro wrapped cigar. I am told it has a 4 filler tobaccos – Pilot Cubano, Criollo, San Vincente, and Cubano Ligeros. The binder is Cuban Seed Nicaraguan. The wrapper is smooth and oily  with a glimmering  brown sheen. The band is colorful and would call you over to say hello on a humidor shelf if it could speak.

The Cabareté is sweet to the lips. As I  light it up, it gives off a sweet fruity flavor with a near perfect burn. “Sweet Emotion” fills the air  along with waves of sweet-scented smoke  There is a slight peppery burn on the retro-hale. The fruit is that of raisin or possibly currant. There is a back flavor of coffee.  It has an easy draw and it produces lots of tasty smoke.

About a third of the way down there is a note of chocolate that adds to the fruity flavor. Sweet and delicious.

Approaching the second 3rd, buttery flavor notes enter, along with creamy smoke. There is a touch of honey that comes and goes.  This is a very smooth and delectable smoke.

A mild spice is picking up on the retro hale and there is a bit of oak flavor as I transition to the last third. The smoke is very clean on the palate with a nice smooth finish and no discernible after taste. The ash was light grey and held on for most of the hour or so journey.
