Villiger TAA 2020 | Bonus Episode | #leemack912 Cigar Review (S07 E150)
Wrapper: Ecuador (Sumatra), Binder: Nicaragua, Filler: Dominican Republic & Nicaragua
Every year, the group of retailers and manufacturers that is better known as the TAA, meets in Mexico or the Caribbean to discuss industry issues, engage in networking, and of course, sell a solid amount of cigars. About 80 retailers are in the organization, but they represent some of the biggest brick-and-mortar stores in the country, many with multiple locations and significant online stores. On the manufacturing side, about 40 companies are part of the group.
To sweeten the pot over the years, manufacturers have been offering the group exclusive access to cigars, sometimes a window of exclusivity for a new line, sometimes a new size in an existing line, or sometimes a new cigar, most of which are limited editions. Collectively these cigars are part of the Tobacconists’ Association of America Exclusive Series Program.
For this cigar, Villiger turned to a well-established cigar maker and factory in the Dominican Republic but one it hadn’t worked with previously: Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. and Tabacalera La Alianza S.A.
The blend features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. The cigar is a toro measuring 6 x 54 and which gets a box press. Just 10,000 cigars were produced, split into 500 boxes of 20 cigars. Boxes have an MSRP of $180, while single cigars are priced at $9, both before taxes.

“The corojo obscure wrapper results in a flavor profile that, in my opinion, is reminiscent of the signature ‘My Father’ style of delivering classic Nicaraguan structure and intensity, while retaining complexity and balance,” said Jon Huber, co-founder of Crowned Heads, in a press release.
Las Calaveras Edición Limitada 2022 LC46 (5 3/4 x 46) — 1,500 Boxes of 24 Cigars + 2,500 Samplers of 1 Cigar (38,500 Total Cigars)

La Galera 1936 Box Pressed cigar was created by Jochy Blanco at La Tabacalera Palma. Ecuador Habano wrapper, Dominican binder & fillers. LeeMack912 smokes and reviews
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Wrapper: Ecuador Habano
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler: Dominican Republic (Criollo ’98)
According to www.famous-smoke.com
"Yet another standout from Jochy Blanco and Tabacalera Palma. La Galera 1936 Box Pressed cigars commemorate the year that Jochy's forefathers opened their Dominican cigar factory?s doors to the world; and after 80 years of making cigars for some of the biggest and brightest names in the cigar biz, Blanco has put out an impressive anniversary blend that makes it easy to imagine 80 more.
The La Galera 1936 Box Pressed brims with feisty Dominican tobaccos (grown on Blanco?s La Canela farm) - Criollo ?98 and Piloto Cubano that were set aside and aged especially for this project. Expertly box-pressed, the topcoat is an Ecuador Connecticut helps to keep the spice in check, resulting in a medium-full bodied smoke that washes over the taste buds with a varied and complex mix of flavors. Long finish, too ?

Family today is another beautiful day in my neighborhood. Today it’s 60 degrees and raining. We will be smoking and reviewing the Insidious by Asylum. It is Asylum’s first Connect wrapped cigar. It features an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, the binder and filler are from Honduras. The size we are smoking is a 5 x 50 Robusto which is available for the amazing price of $4.00
The cigar has a very smooth tawny beige wrapper. There are minimal veins on the wrapper with invisible veins. It appears to be very well rolled and a smell of the foot offers aromas of sweet tobacco. I tasted the tip before cutting it and it almost tasted as if it was sweetened. The draw is nice and medium where I like it.
This cigar is billed as a mild cigar which is the reason many have passed this one by (myself included). Upon first light, I think that I have picked up the wrong cigar. It immediately went to my head, my mouth is experiencing a mix of white, black and red peppers. This cigar is sitting squarely in the medium body and flavor lane and the pepper makes it feel like it is a little stronger. It has a slight bit of complexity as the sweet tobacco core, tea and a mix of pepper.
The flavors ease off slightly but the strength remains as I continue to smoke through the first third. This cigar reminds me of another cigar that I smoked and reviewed. More about that one in a minute. As I continue to smoke this one and the strength continues to heat up my head, I notice a strip of dark tobacco that runs down the center. Is that ligero?
As I enter the final third, the pepper and sweet tobacco is joined by rich coffee. The finish is dry, short and crisp. The burn is razor sharp, the draw is perfect and she burns slowly.
I end up smoking this one down to the nub. Oh yeah, that other cigar that this reminds me of…..the CLE Connecticut. This is another Connecticut wrapped cigar that is worth a try. The common denominator, Christian Luis Eiroa. Both cigars are full flavor medium strength cigars. Winners in my book.
