Villiger Cigars Cuellar Black Forest
Paying tribute to the legendary forested expanse of southwestern Germany, Villiger Cuellar Black Forest is crafted at the ABAM factory in Santo Domingo. Dressed in a dark Brazilian Maduro wrapper over a Dominican binder and Dominican-Nicaraguan fillers, this medium-to-full-bodied smoke reveals layers of damp earth, roasted coffee, sweet vanilla, delicate florals, and black pepper.

Smoking this box-pressed cigar is like biting into almond-studded chocolate. More rich layers of malted milk and toffee are brought together by a toasty foundation that ushers all the flavors into the long finish.

Chocolate malt | Graphite | Vegetal Now, a (perhaps doggerel) Limerick of an ode to this offering. I apologize for formatting issues, as depending on your screen, intended line breaks may suffer. (As may you while reading, regardless of your screen.) I've also taken a pair of other liberties via inclusion: 1. an additional (perhaps doggerel) Shakespearean couplet, and 2. double-spacing between lines to hopefully make easier any of those potential formatting woes.

Halfwheel · Dec 13, 2019 · November 2019
If our reviews consisted of rating cigars after only the cold draw and the first third, the Villiger Cuellar Black Forest Toro Gordo would be in contention for my cigar of the year. For that short time, the profile was rich, aggressive and insanely complex, with apple cinnamon, dried tea leaves and coffee beans on the palate along with some distinct vanilla bean sweetness on the retrohale that pulls everything together. Unfortunately, that first third is by far the best part of the cigar, as after that the profile begins a sharp decline from which it never recovers, highlighted by an increasingly aggressive bitterness on the finish. In addition, while the draw was excellent overall, the burn on each of the three samples had to be touched up multiple times. in the end, while there is quite a bit to like about the Villiger Cuellar Black Forest in the first third, if you stop smoking after that you won’t be missing much.

Villiger Cuellar Black Forest cigars don’t come in the typical blowout bin bundles I’m accustomed to reviewing. These premium smokes are actually packaged in boxes, but don’t get me wrong, they still go for a rock-solid bargain. I’ve already unloaded my unabridged praise of Villiger White Forest cigars in a previous review. Let’s take a walk on the dark side and find out how Villiger Black Forest stacks up in a 6-by-54 Toro Gordo.Read full review on Holt's Staff Reviews
VILLIGER CUÉLLAR BLACK FOREST
Comedy Cigars Music · Jul 24, 2022
Wood, earth, and chocolate come through Black Forest’s first few draws. Draw and smoke output are spot on. On the retrohale, wood blends with equal bits of cherry and chocolate. That’s enjoyable.The finish leans towards the dark side, providing dark earth, a splash of coffee, and spice. Dark side. Take it as a Star Wars reference or n

Developing Palates · Jan 13, 2020 · November 2019
The Villiger Cuellar Black Forest Toro Gordo is a fantastic cigar and one of the best I have smoked from Villiger in a while. They really got a great blend out of Tabacalera Palma and what a nice Mexican San Andres offering. This is definitely a maduro I will come back to down the road and one I would highly recommend.

Cigar Journal · Dec 15, 2020 · Top 25 of 2020: The Complete List (Rank #15)
This dark, box-pressed Robusto presents a touch of pepper combined with gentle sweetness and coffee … almost like Cuban coffee. In addition, the cigar develops notes of earth and spice. It is expressive, robust, and wonderfully balanced.
