Flavor Profile

Espresso, dark chocolate, cedar, black pepper, earth, subtle natural sweetness

No. 049 is a numbered, small‑batch toro that favors definition over fireworks. The Ecuadorian Habano oscuro wrapper and San Andrés binder sit on a Nicaraguan filler core, producing concentrated espresso and dark‑chocolate notes balanced by cedar and firm black pepper. Villiger frames the cigar as a study in restraint—flavor is focused and well‑laid rather than broad—and construction aims for precision. The blend's dry, wood‑and‑earth foundation lets the darker roast‑forward flavors sit clearly on top without muddiness.
