I found the Villager Export has a deeper, more interesting flavour. This cigar burned down very fast and had a very light draw. Light, woody notes. Not at all unpleasant.

I haved smoked a lot of Villiger Export Pressed over the years and found them OK when you want a quick smoke so I tried these.
They are alright for an every day cigar but nothing special.Not my choice for a really enjoyable experience. For the price I would go for Jose L Piedra Nacionles.

For the price, this is an absolute bargain!!! One thing that i can't get over is how light the draw was. There was no more resistance drawing through this whatsoever than there would be to draw through a wide straw. Comically, the lightness of the draw is quite deceptive, and i was constantly surprised at how rich the flavour was, and how thick the smoke was. Burned a tad on the quick side, which led me to think that with such a light draw, as well as fairly weak ash, it wouldn't have hurt to have a little more filler, or even a lot more. Nevertheless it was a great smoke. I am a casual and fairly infrequent smoker, yet i doubt it was the only one i ever buy. It has also drawn my attention to the brand.

Mild, yes, but good with a glass of cola, or even a cup of tea (yup, tea.) Don't expect too much and you'll not be disappointed, but personally I love to have a few of these floating around when I fancy an easy smoke without the burden of having to think about it too much. Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I imagine these have quite a closet fan base...

These are a good intermediate cigar between machine-made like Henri Wintermans and a full hand-rolled non-cut corona.Quite an immediate smoke with pale tasting,sharp woody tones,My fledgling palate found them quite harsh at first but re-visiting them,I could enjoy them more.Not a first choice brand,nevertheless I wouldn't turn one down and will get them again.The twin pack is handy for more social occasions.
