What is the blend for Villiger Year of the Snake?

The Snake pairs an Ecuadorian Habano maduro wrapper with a Mexican San Andrés binder over Nicaraguan filler tobaccos—an arrangement that places maduro sweetness and wrapper‑driven cocoa notes up front while Nicaraguan leaf provides backbone and structure.

What size and shape is the Year of the Snake?

The release is offered as a 6. 0" x 58 perfecto—a figural sizes that concentrates wrapper influence and tends to make sweetness and spice feel more immediate.

How does this cigar smoke in terms of strength and flavor profile?

Villiger positions the Snake in the medium‑bodied lane: expect an opening of maduro sweetness and dark sugar/cocoa, a midsection of seasoned earth and gentle baking spice, and a finish touched by soft cedar. The perfecto shape magnifies the wrapper's contribution, so the maduro character reads fairly prominently.

How strong is the Year of the Snake and what are the dominant flavors?

Villiger describes it as medium‑bodied, with dominant notes of maduro sweetness up front, moving into seasoned earth, gentle spice and soft cedar through the finish.

Is Year of the Snake a limited release?

Yes — it is part of Villiger's Limited Release/Chinese zodiac series and the official page presents it as a small‑batch, limited edition release.

Flavor Profile

Maduro sweetness, seasoned earth, gentle spice, soft cedar

Part of Villiger's zodiac‑series limited releases, the Snake perfecto emphasizes maduro sweetness up front—cocoa and soft sugar—settling into seasoned earth, gentle baking spice and soft cedar as it develops. The San Andrés binder adds a restrained spice lift while the Nicaraguan fillers provide structural depth and a persistent finish. Offered in small counts and geared to collectors, this perfecto rewards slower paces where wrapper sweetness and balanced earth can be appreciated rather than overwhelming the palate.
