Viaje Skull and Bones is a rarely found cigar from this boutique company.
With attention to detail, this entry produces a very flavorful medium to full boded smoking experience. As it moves along the strength elevates to the very robust level. Hence, this cigar is not recommended for newcomers. Those that do smoke it receive an array of flavor notes among the overall strength. Think hardwoods, herbal intonations, hints of dried fruit and heaps of natural tobacco taste.
With that said, Skull and Bones is favorite with seasoned smokers and aficionados at large. So, as you would expect, they come and go frequently.
All we can say is…..Get ’em when we got ’em!
