Villiger San Doro Colorado Claro Toro Tasting
Villiger San Doro is a long-filler cigar of outstanding quality. I tested the Toro from the Colorado Claro line. I don't like light-colored (Connecticut) wrapper leaves because they are too bitter and too acidic for me. But the wrapper leaves of the San'Doro Colorado Claro come from Ecuador. I love these wrapper leaves. To put it mildly, they are fantastic for my senses. The correct spelling is San'Doro (but SEO doesn't recognize that very well). ?

Conclusion
The Villiger San Doro Colorado Claro is an uncomplicated cigar. It smoulders long and straight. The wrapper leaf is a feast for the eyes with its light color and super-thin veins. The typical taste of this Ecuador wrapper leaf always fascinates me. The delicately bitter taste is somehow mixed with nut and wood - really great.
The strength is 2/5 at the beginning and comes to 3/5 from about the second half onwards. A full-bodied and aromatic pleasure. It is not very complex and that is not its claim. It is somehow clearly structured, like a perfectly tidy office where everything has its place. Haha - what a saudoo comparison? Wonderful, simply wonderful!
