Review: Viaje Zombie Natural Box (2013)
Back in April of 2011, Viaje brought a cigar blend that had never been seen before to an event at Tobacco Grove in Minnesota. The cigar, which was known as the Zombie, was made to be one of Viaje’s strongest blends and was released in a unique vitola: a Robusto with triple caps at both [...]
Review: Viaje Zombie Super Shot
Today we’re looking at a mash-up of two of Viaje’s limited release lines—the Zombie and the Super Shot—into a new cigar named the Zombie Super Shot.

Review: Viaje Exclusivo Super Lance
A little more than a year ago, we posted information about one of Viaje’s newest cigars, the Exclusivo Super Lance. At the time, it was appearing in a 7 1/2 x 48 vitola, although at the time it was known the ring gauge would be a bit thinner at 46 ring gauge. As has become [...]
Review: Viaje White Label Project Super Shot 12 Gauge
In January of 2011, Viaje began releasing some experimental blends under the White Label Project moniker.

Redux: Viaje Zombie (2012)
Fewer cigars in Viaje’s portfolio have been the lightning rod that the Zombie was when it was announced in April of 2011.

Multiple retailers have confirmed to halfwheel they have received invoices for Viaje’s next shipment which includes Exclusivo Super Lance and White Label Project and Zombie versions of Super Shot.

Redux: Viaje Super Shot 10 Gauge
If there was ever a surprising Viaje release, it was Super Shot. Debuting first in the Super Shot 10 Gauge, then a smaller 12 Gauge version and coming back this year in the form of Zombie Super Shot, the small line delivered. It wasn’t perfect out of the box, but it had a lot worth [...]
Review: Viaje Friends and Family Le Joueur
In March 2013, we reported on the third installment of one of the most secretive releases from Viaje, the Friends and Family, which began showing up on invoices and at retailers’ doors with a new shape, new price and new name.
