Filler
Dominican Republic and Nicaraguan long filler
This is Villiger's dependable 1888 expression rolled in the Dominican Republic and assembled from Dominican and Nicaraguan long‑leaf tobaccos. An Ecuadorian wrapper and a San Andrés binder temper the profile toward toasted cedar and aged oak more than heavy pepper; common tasting notes include cream, light baking spice and a touch of pepper on the retrohale, with modest cocoa or coffee appearing later. Construction and draw lean toward reliability—an easy, slightly resistant draw and a dense, even smoke—making it a solid, consistent choice for rotation rather than a showpiece.
