Viaje Exclusivo is another very popular entry from this boutique company.
With attention to detail, the Exclusivo is a distinguished cigar containing a unique blend. Comprising 100% Nicaraguan tobacco, this meticulously crafted smoke boasts a wrapper, binder, and filler all sourced from the rich Nicaraguan soil. The precise distinction between the Nicaraguan and Honduran variations remains a well-guarded secret, adding an element of mystery to the experience. Expertly manufactured in Nicaragua at the renowned TABSA facility, this Viaje promises aficionados an exceptional journey through the nuanced flavors of premium Nicaraguan tobacco.
Cigar Aficionado rates this gem a respectable 90. Their description of this medium to full bodied gem is spot on. “Solid to the touch, this toro is packed with tobacco but draws and burns evenly. Up-front earthiness fades to the background for notes of oak, chocolate and baking spices.”
With this in mind, the “Leaded” version listed here uses Medio tiempo leaves. This factor gives it a richer and more full bodied flavor. Either one will prove to be another satisfying smoking experience from this great company.

Viaje Limited Edition 15th Anniversary is a celebratory edition of blends from this boutique company.
These rare cigars showcase a Nicaraguan Criollo 98 wrapper from the Jalapa region, and the binder and filler maintain their Nicaraguan composition. This special release marks a milestone for Viaje, offering enthusiasts a unique and commemorative experience. While all three contain the same leaves, the company emphatically states each blend possesses a unique stand alone medium to full bodied taste.
Noted reviewer KATMAN rates the Black edition an astounding 97! He exclaims, ” This cigar is about as far away from a flavor bomb as possible by law. It wreaks of the golden ticket we smokers seek out but almost never find: True complexity…without the need to wait for the second half before unveiling this sought out character.”
In fact, he rates the Silver the same score as another superb blend. When it comes to the Black…you guessed it. Another 97! His description is spot on. ” Not a single change to the flavor profile. Every note is canonized in stone. The complexity and richness find intricacies I didn’t think possible.” Without a doubt, each one is a winner!
But beware…….only 350 of each edition was produced and they’re going fast!
