There have been special releases for anniversaries, events, Super Bowls and plenty of other causes, but CAO‘s most famous limited edition series was named for the room where cigars are aged, the escaparte.

Review: Los Hermanos Robusto

For those of you that don’t know… When I was talking with Atlantic Cigars about the Viaje Exclusivo Lancero two weeks ago, they mentioned that they had a small batch cigar they were releasing made with Aganorsa leaf by Casa Fernandez.

Review: Viaje White Label Project Stuffed Turkey

For those of you that don’t know… This past year, Viaje has started to release cigars in a new series.
