This Viaje cigar is already available at my local, Empire Cigars (formerly Capital City Cigars). I picked this up last night and smoked it.
Made in the same factory as the Joya de Nicaragua brand, Viaje is a boutique company that’s on the rise. Read here for more info.
This is a rough looking cigar with a spongy feel. The cap was placed on the head of the cigar, no triple cap here.
At first light, there was a touch of bitterness and sourness that parted for a nice earthy and toasty smoke. It looks like a powerhouse, but the cigar is actually on the mild-medium side.
This is not a complex cigar, but it definitely has an interesting aroma, that is heavier than the cigar itself. It shows lots of potential, this may be a cigar to watch…
