Viaje Ships 2018 Stuffed Turkey
The 2018 versions of Viaje’s Stuffed Turkey White Meat and Stuffed Turkey Dark Meat will be heading to retailers today, continuing the company’s series of Thanksgiving-themed cigars.
This year’s cigars return to the 2015 version, meaning a 5 x 58 robusto gordo vitola. The Stuffed Turkey White Meat uses a Nicaraguan criollo 98 wrapper, while Dark Meat features a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper. Both cigars use Nicaraguan-grown AGANORSA tobacco for the filler and are produced at the Raíces Cubanas factory in Honduras.
Each version comes in 25-count boxes and is priced at $10.40 per cigar and $260 per box.
Last year, the company released an Edición Limitada version of the cigar, box-pressing it for the first time in the series’ history. The cigar debuted in 2011 as part of the company’s White Label Project (WLP) series, before graduating out of that series and into its own branded line in 2014.
The company has also said that an additional Stuffed Turkey offshoot is forthcoming, though declined to provide details on it at this time. As for the Farmer Bill Hatchet release that has often accompanied the Stuffed Turkey, Viaje founder Andre Farkas said that it was returning when asked about it at the 2018 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, though a spokesperson for the company declined to provide an update.

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, the G-League's Valley Suns, 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.
