Privada Storytelling
A Toro of Toro: Bold Nicaraguan Identity
The Corrida Nicaragua Toro is Villiger’s declaration of intent: unapologetically full-bodied, complex, and unfiltered. Built on Nicaraguan Habano/Oscuro wrapper and puro filler, it mirrors the myth of the bullfight—with grounded power, depth, and relentless pace. Each draw asserts strength and nuance, shaped for those seeking full-flavor ceremony without compromise.
Flavor Journey
First third: Opens with deep earth, dark chocolate, espresso, black pepper, and mineral edge, slowly smoothing
Middle third: Continues with a symphony of cocoa, espresso, pepper, mineral undertones, and dark fruit notes—steady and focused
Final third: Closes on bold espresso, lingering pepper, oak-rich earth, and bittersweet chocolate, keeping strength firm but satisfying
Draw is smooth, burn is generally even though some touch-ups may be needed, smoke is thick and aromatic
