Viaje Cloudmaker, FOAB & MOAB Returning for 2019

For the first time since May 2014, Viaje’s Skull and Bones FOAB, MOAB and Cloudmaker are returning to stores.

All three cigars are named after bombs. MOAB, a 4 1/4 x 54 petit torpedo, debuted in 2011 and has been released three other times. It uses a Nicaraguan sun grown criollo wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. Its name comes from a U.S. bomb nicknamed Mother of All Bombs.

This will be the third release of FOAB, which also uses a Nicaraguan sun grown criollo wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. It measures 4 1/2 x 56. Its name is derived from a Russian bomb nicknamed Father of All Bombs.

Skull and Bones Cloudmaker returns for only the second time. Viaje has not publicly disclosed the blend, but the cigar is a 5 x 60 robusto gordo. The name comes from a 1940s era American bomb.
