The Jilguero cigar, in a substantial Gordo size (6” x 60), is inspired by the powerful horses favoured by Pancho Villa, particularly the resilient Jilguero. This medium-to-full-strength cigar pays homage to its namesake with its impressive dimensions and rich, robust flavour profile, making it ideal for a long, satisfying smoke, lasting approximately 90 minutes.
Crafted with a dark “prieto” wrapper of Negro San Andrés, which honours the horse’s colouring, the Jilguero delivers a complex array of flavours. Expect to encounter notes of pepper, nutmeg, cedar, cocoa, earth, molasses, and a toasted character, all blending to create a deeply satisfying experience. With a binder from Esteli and a well-curated filler blend from Jalapa, Esteli, and Ometepe, this cigar embodies the richness and diversity of premium tobacco.
The Jilguero is best paired with an aged bourbon, enhancing the cigar’s complexity and sweetness for a truly indulgent experience. With a 90-point rating from Cigars Lover Magazine, the Jilguero stands as a top choice for aficionados seeking depth and character.
