Villiger 1492 Short Perfecto looks very special. It has a pointed cigar foot and a pointed cigar head. Difficult to roll. How does it taste? I'll find out in this test article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cigar test is subjective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Note: How a cigar tastes is influenced by personal taste preferences, taste memories, the form of the day, what you have eaten or drunk beforehand. Even the lighting in the room has an influence on the flavour you experience. The notes described here therefore do not necessarily correspond to your own impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe cigar is rolled so well that it even stands on its pointed head. But only with the help of the cutter \ud83d\ude09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The cigar remains more or less linear. Very suitable for beginners. In the course of the second half, the wood and coffee beans become somewhat more dominant.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The official text from the manufacturer reads: \u201eThe Short Perfecto format is rather rare on the cigar market. This is because the cigar format, which tapers to a point on both sides, is comparatively difficult to roll. It requires the dexterity of the most experienced torcedores. However, the special effort that cigar rollers have to make when producing a Short Perfecto pays off with a particularly exciting smoking experience: As the smoke travels through the different diameters of the cigar during the smoking process, the flavour of the Short Perfecto changes several times.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can agree with the last sentence to a certain extent. As an experienced cigar connoisseur, the cigar is a very welcome change for me: it remains more or less linear and is therefore completely uncomplicated for me. I can simply enjoy the variety of flavours while I let my mind wander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, I believe that a beginner will particularly enjoy this cigar: Because he will indeed notice the intensity of the flavour changing over the course of the smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here we have a top quality product. A Villiger long filler cigar with a very special appearance. I like the cigar for the quiet and simple moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Connecticut wrapper leaf from Ecuador is always something special. This typical flavour of wood and cocoa (bittersweet), mixed with a little acidity, simply tastes completely different to Connecticut wrapper leaves from other countries. I love the wrapper leaves from Ecuador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Could the flavour be made even more refined with a binder from another country? Perhaps from the Dom. Republic or from Honduras? Or Nicaragua? You'd just have to try it out. Dear VILLIGER master blenders: Will you give it a try? \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nIt only burned crooked for the first three minutes or so. After that, burning was completely uncomplicated. Very high quality rolling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
