The pre-lit aroma was of strong wood scents, mixed in with what I would describe as a raisin smell. The cigar feels surprisingly hefty for it's size and when squeezed is hard as a rock. I did see quite a few veins running around the wrapper, but these had been expertly smoothed down and appeared would have no effect on the burn. The wrapper on my 'Daisy Cutter vitola' (again a great name departure from the norm) is very smooth and oily. Yes, it does seem weird to smoke something that has the image of a skull and bones on it, but wow, what a nice departure from tradition cigar bands. The Viaje Skull and Bones is a awesome looking stick.

I don't know if I'll ever see these cigars again, so was looking forward to smoking one.ĭue to the size of this cigar, this review is only in two parts instead of the traditional thirds. Luckily for me, Dan (NHCDAN on twitter) at New Havana Cigars got a shipment (very small mind you and they are all gone, so please don't call about them) and hooked me up with a chance to get some. The problem? This was limited to a production run of 150 boxes of 25 cigars, so finding some could have been a problem.

I've really been enjoying petit robustos, and petit cigars in general, so when I saw the size that this stick was to be released in, I was all over it. This cigar, in size, is exactly what I am into these days. The Viaje Skull and Bones is a limited release stick that came quickly to shops after the release of the popular Viaje Reserva. I was very lucky to get my hands on a few of today's review cigar.
