Viaje Cigar

Medium - Full Body
I read the review on this cigar and was intrigued, so I decided to venture out and find one to smoke.
The Start
The cigars cover leaf is a dark Criollo wrapper. It has oils present and has a slightly rough feel. I didn't detect any soft spots. The cigar has a firm pack. The construction looks solid.
The draw on this cigar is surprisingly good in that it is a firm smoke. Each puff provides ample smoke. It starts out with good flavor, so I was eagerly anticipating what was to come. From what I understand, this cigar is a Nicaraguan puro and there is no mistaking that earthy flavor. The start to this cigar wasn't complex, it just provided good flavor.
The Middle
This is where the cigar began to change. The smoke began to get creamy with hints of dark coffee. I find that many Nicaraguan puros are a bit one dimensional, but this cigar has complexity to it. The smoke really begins to open up here. As you can see the cigar burns very well. I have not had to relight the cigar.
The End
This is where the cigar reached its full potential. Creamy, rich smoke was enjoyed to its end. The ash was dense and held together well. I was told that JdN manufactures this smoke. If I had to compare it to anything Id say it is similar to the Antano, but pulled back a bit strength wise. The cigar started out good and only got better from there.
This is my first review. I hope you have found it helpful.
