Villiger

Switzerland · est. 1888 · Villiger Söhne

Jean Villiger started making cigars in Pfeffikon, Switzerland in 1888; after his death his widow Louise ran the company, and it has stayed in the family for five generations. The volume business is machine-made dry cigars sold across Europe — Heinrich Villiger led that expansion for more than half a century — and the handmade premium lines came later, produced in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.
