Quick Smoke: Viaje Platino Reserva VPR No. 6
12 Jun 2016
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€
Viaje is known for small-batch releases, and this is no exception. Made at the Raices Cubanas factory in Honduras, this cigar features a Nicaraguan Corojo ’99 wrapper around well-aged Nicaraguan fillers. The result is a medium-bodied smoke with light spice, dry earth, and a slight raisin sweetness. The box-pressed toro boasts an excellent draw and burn. It’s not the kind of cigar to buy a box of without trying. That said, if a medium-bodied, rounded smoke sounds up your alley, pick up a single when you get the chance.
Verdict = Buy.
