Viaje has announced three cigars that will be included as part of its November 2022 shipment. Two of the cigars are returning—Stuffed Turkey in both Dark and White Meat variants—while one is a new spin on a previously-released cigar.

The Stuffed Turkey has historically been a 5 x 58 robusto gordo offered in two different blends. Both have used a Nicaraguan binder and filler, the White Meat versions uses a Nicaraguan criollo 98 wrapper, while Dark Meat features a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper.

A spokesperson for Viaje said the cigars would be the same blend for 2022, though declined to talk further details.

The most recent Stuffed Turkey release—in 2020—saw the cigars priced with an MSRP of $10 per cigar regardless of the variant. Both of those versions came in boxes of 25 cigars.

Viaje is also releasing the Zombie Mrs. Hatchet, a new Zombie version of the Mrs. Hatchet that came out last year.

That same Viaje spokesperson declined to talk about details for Zombie Mrs. Hatchet. The 2021 version of the Mrs. Hatchet was a 6 x 50 box-pressed toro. When asked about the blend of the regular Mrs. Hatchet last year, a Viaje spokesperson declined to talk about the blend of that cigar.

Mrs. Hatchet is part of a larger Thanksgiving-themed cast of characters that have been used for the names of various Viaje cigars over the years including Farmer Bill Hatchet and Farmhand Andre.
