In 2024, our brand ambassador, Felix Wallenhorst, once again toured throughout Germany, captivating audiences with the VILLIGER Brand Ambassador Tour. During two phases, Villiger de Nicaragua and Villiger do Brasil took center stage. Guests were able to sample the cigars and provide feedback through a questionnaire to help shape a new Villiger blend – truly a highlight for all cigar enthusiasts!

On May 30, we celebrated the 94th birthday of our patron, Heinrich Villiger. To mark the occasion, he unveiled a strictly limited cigar: the VILLIGER CELEBRATION BY HEINRICH VILLIGER – an exclusive creation available only in small quantities. This cigar unites the finest selection of tobaccos, meticulous attention to detail, and the passion of everyone involved.

For a decade now, this fruity-fresh tobacco blend, with its characteristic cane sugar taste at the tip, has created a summery vibe. During this time, the VILLIGER MINI Green has earned a place among Germany’s Top 5 cigarillos – and deservedly so!

With the classically sweet aromas of Sweets, the fruity Peach Passion, the refreshing Caipirinha, and the tropical Piña Colada, today’s CONSTELLATION filter cigarillos offer a variety for every taste.

In September, we successfully launched our new online shop! With a modern design, improved shopping experience, and a wide range of products, it’s the perfect place for lovers of the finest cigars.

Note: The shop is currently only available in Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

In October, we launched the VILLIGER 1492 Discovery Edition – a tribute to Christopher Columbus, his crew, and their courageous voyages. The elegant box featuring the famous three ships invites aficionados on a flavorful journey: mild, creamy notes with enticing hints of nuts and sweetness – presented in the popular Robusto format.

The VILLIGER CELEBRATION has long since become an annual highlight, where loyal guests and newcomers alike come together in a special blend of style, enjoyment, and sociability. This year, guests gathered at the «Spinnerei» in Emmenbrücke, where, in the 1960s, viscose fibers were spun into fine yarn, and which now serves as a unique event location. The evening was filled with special moments that made it truly unforgettable.

In late autumn, the new AMERICANOS cigarillos made their debut in Germany. Without additional flavors but refined with Caribbean tobaccos, SUMATRA and BRASIL impress in elegant metal tins with a spicy, full-bodied taste – a true classic in a modern guise..
