Villa Casdagli Petit Exquisitos Peruvita
The Villa Casdagli Petit Exquisitos Peruvita is a petite cigarillo (4 x 35) that showcases the unique character of Peruvian Habano Seco tobacco. Each stick features a filler composed entirely of this Peruvian leaf—double-fermented in a “pilon” after arrival in Costa Rica—for a rich, sweet, and floral smoking experience. Wrapped and bound in Ecuadorian leaves and produced at Tabacos de Costa Rica, this cigar is both a conversation starter and a quick, premium-quality indulgence.
- Single-origin Peruvian Habano Seco filler for vibrant flavor
- Second fermentation in Costa Rica enhances sweetness and complexity
- Floral aroma with rich notes of dark chocolate, molasses, and spice
- Medium-bodied profile with mild pepper, fruit, and oak undertones
- Consistent construction and slow, even burn (25–30 minutes)
- Perfect for aficionados on the go and flavor-focused short sessions
- Excellent value in both flavor and pricing
With every puff, the Peruvita delivers a dense bouquet of sweet and floral notes, balanced by deeper flavors of chocolate, brown sugar, and roasted nuts. The second fermentation brings an exceptional smoothness and complexity, elevating this cigar above typical cigarillo offerings. The consistent construction ensures a sharp burn line, plenty of smoke, and no draw issues, making for a reliably rewarding smoke anytime.
The Petit Exquisitos Peruvita was originally developed after a tasting event to highlight the individual tobaccos of the Villa Casdagli Toro blend. Its unique sensory profile and the crowd’s enthusiastic response led to its release as a standalone product. Ideal for a leisurely morning session, coffee pairing, or whenever a premium experience is desired in a condensed timeframe.

I met Jeremy and team at Destination Herf 2024 in Miami. Such a phenomenal knowledge base in the cigar culture.
He gifted me with one of these as a parting gift and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Love the size of these, and the flavor they pack. Definitely worth a try especially if you are into learning about different types of tobaccos as it’s fillers are all Peruvian!

Been meaning to try these since they came out. These are similar to the size of Cuban short or cigarette. Nice dark wrapper and excellent draw.
Initial puffs are slightly harsh which improve to a nutty tobacco flavor. Minimal finish with the slightest bit of white pepper on the retro. Burn is mighty fast but I can’t expect much more from a 35 rg cigar. A tangy floral note joins the profile at the midway point. It heats up quickly so I slow my pace just at the mid way point (10 minutes in). The profile is interesting and it’s impressive it can somewhat resemble a cigar in this small package. I suspect it would be better if it were 4×40. Fiver worthy for me and a great 20 min smoke if you’re in a crunch for time.

A dense little cigarillo (4×35) that burns beautifully with a sharp burn line and produces a ton of smoke. The flavor profile struck me as mild, but with the flavors very distinct. There was a little white pepper over a base of dark chocolate and some nuts, as well. A very nice 30 minute smoke if you don’t have a lot of time or want something to go with your morning coffee.

I really enjoyed this little cigar! When short on time, these are absolute gems! Both versions (Nicarita/Peruvita) are great short smokes but my palate prefers this version. It’s a bit smoother and a bit more sweetness. Definitely will keep these in my rotation for shorter windows…or even as a fantastic 2nd smoke to end a night

I love Casdagli but the price point is high, so getting a Casdagli for $5 was a no-brainer. When I bought this Peruvita I never thought that this short filler cigar would be so good. It is way better than the H99 Papas Fritas which was my previous favorite small cigar.

Very well balanced with notes of spice and fruit, and a pleasant molasses finish. These will be taking the place of the davidoff primeros in my humidor!

Everything that I’ve smoked from Casdagli has been incredible. This little smoke is much of the same. They just blend and age their selections so well. I’ve come to really appreciate these short smokes because let’s face it… you don’t always have 2-3 hrs for a smoke. From this I’m getting toasted nuts, brown sugar and light roast coffee. I’ve had other smaller cigars from other companies but Casdagli really paid attention to this and you can tell in this exquisite smoke. These are a total value especially for what you are getting. Can’t wait to try the next offering from Casdagli!

Great sandwich filler cigar. Constantly find myself looking for 25-30min cigars that I can stock in the humi and these made the list. Sweet, floral notes all the way through. Burned great and the flavors were enjoyable.
