LA CAPITANA

The phrase “la capitana” refers to a female captain. La Capitana cigars feature a beautiful female captain on their bands. These cigars are made by the Swiss cigar giant Villiger, which was once managed by a woman.
In 1888, Jean and Louise Villiger became cigar manufacturers in their small town of Pfeffikon, Switzerland. Less than 15 years later, Jean passed and Louise took over.
For 16 years, she skillfully managed and expanded the business. Louise is also credited with the success of the Kiel line, which was the first cigar of its kind to feature a goose quill mouthpiece.
With over 125 years of experience with tobacco, Villiger has expanded to be a global company with operations in Brazil, Indonesia, France, Nicaragua, the United States, and more. Villiger is renowned for the premium tobacco they use for their handmade cigars, machine-made cigars, and pipe tobacco.
For three generations the Villiger family has been in charge of Villiger Söhne Holding. In 2016, the business was carefully handed to cigar veteran Rene Castañeda, former president of Miami Cigar Co., and Swiss business expert Robert Suter. These two accomplished gentlemen are President and CEO respectively and are tasked with maintaining the extraordinary legacy of Villiger.
La Capitana cigars are handcrafted in the Dominican Republic yet feature no Dominican tobacco. La Capitana cigars are full-bodied Nicaraguan puros. The La Capitana blend provides bold flavor with hints of sweet spices. The wrapper leaves are Habano tobacco, which means the tobacco is cultivated from Cuban seeds.
The La Capitana cigars have an almost indescribable alluring aspect to them. It has gained the admiration of numerous aficionados, especially more seasoned connoisseurs who prefer stronger sticks. Cigar Journal has rated La Capitana at 90, which means it is definitely worth a try.
Captains are stereotypically male; a female captain is a rare find much like La Capitana cigars. Few cigars of such premium quality are available at such affordable prices. If you’re looking to live a bolder and more adventurous life, purchase La Capitana cigars from Mike’s Cigars and experience an anomaly.
