Today we offer the Stogie Press Rough Cut cigar review notes on the Villiger Cigars San’Doro Claro cigar. I received samples of the San’Doro Claro from Villiger Cigars last month and would like to thank them very much for the samples. The San’Doro Claro is described as a mellow, easy-going cigar with woody notes and a bit of spice. The San’Doro Claro is made at Oliva’s TABOLISA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. It was introduced at the 2015 IPCPR.
The San’Doro Claro is available in 4 vitolas:
- Robusto – 5 x 50
- Toro – 6 x 50
- Churchill – 7 x 50
The San’Doro Claro blend is described as:
- Wrapper – Ecuador Connecticut
- Binder – Nicaragua
- Filler – Nicaragua
For this review I sampled the San’Doro Claro Robusto
Cigar Review Notes

- Dark centered leaf
- Tea and hay on nose
- Pepper on the lips
- Earthy note on cold draw
- Lot of pepper once lit – hits the back of throat
- Fruit and nut enter with a touch of cedar
- Very smooth morning cigar
- Solid white ash
- Cinnamon and some sweetness evolve
- Thicker than normal Connecticut char line
- Fruit makes its way front and center, half way into the burn
- Smoke is full and creamy
- Pepper returns in the retro-hale
- Fruit develops a tang
- Sweetness rests in the background as nut builds in the aroma
- A delicious bitter-sweet fruit evolves in the end of the second third and continues through the burn
- Perfect down to the nub
