Viaje Ships Holiday Blend Christmas Trees
The Viaje Holiday Blend Christmas Tree is on its way to retailers, according to a post by brand owner Andre Farkas via his Facebook page. In a comment on the picture posted Tuesday, Farkas said “The trees are en route to ALL authorized Viaje retailers.”
This is the first year for the Viaje Holiday Blend Christmas Tree, which will be the lone release in the series for 2013. Production delays meant that the regular releases of the Holiday Blend series would not be produced this year, an announcement that came in early December. The tight-lipped company has kept specific details about the Christmas Tree to a minimum, with the picture posted Tuesday the first look that the company has provided of the cigar. A picture of the box was posted when news of the delay to the regular releases was announced:
The Viaje Holiday Blend Christmas Tree appears to be a short, stubby torpedo, and becomes the eighth installment in the company’s Holiday Blend series:

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
