Quick Smoke: Viaje Exclusivo Leaded Robusto
22 Mar 2014
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,†“hold,†or “sell.â€
This new release from Viaje Cigars fits what I often look for in a limited release: an enjoyable and memorable cigar, but not one I’d want to smoke too often. In this case, that’s partly price ($9.50 is fairly steep for a robusto), but more the strength and flavor profile. I can’t seem to find any information on the tobacco, but Leaded is strong, kicking off with a pepper blast and shifting to earth and leather midway. Then, it picks up with pepper and spice in the final half. It’s a tad rough, and the draw is loose. But the burn is excellent and smoke production top rate. If you have any interest in limited production smokes, be sure to pick one up.
Verdict = Buy.

The draw and burn are fantastic of the cigar. I am very impressed with this cigar how it smokes outdoors especially with the breeze.
