Review: Viaje White Label Project Stuffed Turkey Dark Meat

Earlier this month, Viaje shipped retailers two versions of the second release of its WLP Stuffed Turkey, White Meat and Dark Meat. Brooks reviewed the former recently and I decided to tackle the latter of the 5 x 60 vitola and the latest entry into Viaje’s White Label Project series. Andre Farkas, owner of Viaje Cigars, described [...]

Review: Viaje White Label Project Stuffed Turkey White Meat

In November of 2011, Viaje released the WLP Stuffed Turkey, a cigar created based on a conversation with Stogie Review’ Jerry Cruz. The Stuffed Turkey is officially part of the White Label Project series, which has had multiple releases this year and last. However, while the cigar was supposed to be sent to retailers in [...]

Review: Viaje Holiday Blend Candy Cane

Several years ago the Viaje Holiday Blend Candy Cane was talked about however multiple delays caused this cigar to be pushed back until this year. We talked about this in a few news stories last month. Patrick had this to say: On Monday afternoon, Andre Farkas of Viaje showed off the new Candy Cane cigar [...]

Review: Viaje Oro La Pequeña (2012)

Last month we posted a news story about the rerelease of the Viaje Oro La Pequeña. While it is part of the Oro line and thus uses the same blend, the size is something different and unique to the rest. La Pequeña was originally rolled for the Habana Smoke Shop in 2009, however, Andre Farkas loved [...]

Review: Viaje Satori Zen Edición Limitada 2012

The 2012 Viaje Satori release marks the third year that the Satori has been released. In 2010 Brooks reviewed the Zen and in 2011 Steve reviewed the Karma. Here is the background on the Satori line from Steve’s review: In 2010 Andre Farkas and his brand Viaje showed up at the IPCPR trade show in [...]

Redux: Viaje Friends and Family

In February of 2012, Viaje released one of their most secretive blends with almost no fanfare or foreknowledge. Said to be produced select retailers started getting single boxes of the box-pressed Churchill out of the blue. At over $15.00 per cigar, the Friends and Family was the most expensive Viaje up to that point and [...]

Review: Viaje Oro Collector’s Edition 2012 Fuerza

The concept of releasing an even more limited version of a cigar for a company known for its insanely small release numbers was a bit odd to some, but for Andre Farkas, Collector’s Edition makes sense for Viaje. Introduced at IPCPR 2012, Collector’s Edition is a special take on the Oro blend that will be [...]

Review: Viaje 5th Anniversary

Word of a new cigar from Viaje started floating around the internet back in mid-May, when Andre Farkas took to Facebook to post a picture of the band for his newest project: the Viaje 5th Anniversary. No details about blend, size or price were attached; just a note that said “IPCPR 2012.” Amazingly though, little [...]

Review: Viaje Honey & Hand Grenades The Rapier

The first time we heard of the interestingly named Honey and Hand Grenades from Viaje was at the IPCPR show in Las Vegas in mid-2011. Farkas was seen handing out samples to a few people to try with no other info given except the name, the interesting vitola and the fact that it was supposedly [...]

Redux: Viaje Skull and Bones White Daisy Cutter

In May of 2010, Viaje cigars released their first in what would eventually become an almost comically large number of Skull and Bones cigars. Named after a popular bomb that was retired in 2008, the Daisy Cutter was one of the cigars, along with the original release Exclusivo Robustos and the original release Holiday Blend that [...]
