Viaje

One of Viaje’s newest releases gets its name from one of the most famous movie monsters every to appear on the big screen. This year also marks 70 years since the iconic character first appeared on the silver screen.

The new line from Viaje took eight years to develop and involved a more rigorous tobacco selection process than the company’s other creations.

For the first time in the history of the Viaje Birthday Blend, the company released two different cigars. Like every release since 2016, the 2024 Birthday Blends are belicosos, albeit slightly larger than the vitola that was previously used.

The cigar is named for the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested.

After more than a decade in the humidor, it’s time to take a look at one of Viaje’s more interesting looking experiments: what happens when you put caps on both ends of the cigars.

Viaje’s 15th Anniversary cigars return. Sort of.

One of only two Viaje cigars made at TABACALERA LA iSLA in the Dominican Republic so far, the Mofongo gets its name from a popular dish throughout the Caribbean.

In 2020, Viaje added Buckshot as an extension to its Super Shot family of cigars. This year, Buckshot got its sophomore release.

After a hiatus in 2021, the Viaje Holiday Blend came back in 2022 with a pair of vitolas, including a chubby, petite belicoso designed to resemble a Christmas tree.

This year’s Viaje Skull and Bones M?stery is a 5 x 56 box-pressed robusto gordo. The rest of the details are a mystery.

Viaje’s newest Japanese-inspired creation is The Geisha, a 6 3/4 x 52 perfecto that comes in two different blends: one is covered in a San Andrés wrapper from Mexico, while the subject of my review incorporates a Corojo ’99 wrapper grown in Nicaragua.
