In the spring of 2012, Viaje announced a new cigar that would be released at that summer’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show in celebration of the company’s fifth anniversary. No details were given, just where it would be released. While he had no hesitancy to talk about it at the show, it would only appear once on Andre Farkas’ Facebook page, and when he was asked about why it seemed like the cigar might not be getting the attention it warranted, he said there was no real reason behind it.
We’d come to find out that it was a Nicaraguan puro being made at the Raíces Cubanas factory in Honduras, home to many of the brand’s other projects. Additionally, it comes in a single vitola, a box-pressed perfecto measuring 6 1/4 inches long with a 52 ring gauge.
As is not just the case with Viaje but limited editions in general, it seems like the cigars were destined to come and go, snapped up by those who wanted to smoke one now and those who wanted to put some away in the humidor.
