A Trio Of Anniversary Cigars From Viaje
Anniversaries are typically celebrated in increments of five or 10 years, especially in the cigar world. But Andre Farkas, owner of the Viaje brand, is doing things differently. His upcoming release is a trio of cigars meant to commemorate 17-and-a-half years of Viaje. They’re called Fifteen Plus Two and a Half Anniversary and are expected to ship next week on February 17.
Packaged in boxes of 25, the three editions of Fifteen Plus Two and a Half consist of different blends: Silver, Red and Gold. All come in one size, a box-pressed toro measuring 6 inches by 54 ring gauge with a suggested retail price of $16.32 each. In regards to the blends, Farkas did not go into too much detail, but did state that they are made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco grown on farms owned by Aganorsa Leaf, which also produces the cigars at its factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. The Silver and Gold are covered in Criollo wrappers, while the Red is made with Corojo.
According to the company, all three blends are intended to be full-bodied and are dedicated to Viaje’s loyal customer base.
“All the thanks go to the people that support the brand,” Farkas says. “From the growers to the factories, the retailers and of course the consumers. This anniversary project is really for the fans.”
