Viaje is one of those cigars that I don’t see many places but when I run across them I always manage to pick some up. I believe the first place I ever saw them was at Little Taste of Cuba in Princeton, NJ after hearing about them for months on the cigar forums. Sadly more people do not know about the brand and I wish finding them was a little bit easier.

Thankfully I got my hands on some at the Twitter BOTL Cocktail Hour in New Orleans as Viaje was nice enough to donate some to the event.

The idea of the 50/50 is placing of two blends within one cigar. The first creation, the 50/50 Black was full and fuller, while this red is supposed to be more of a balanced smoke. The cigar comes in 3 sizes and are called the No. 1 (5.6 x 46), No. 2 (6 x 50), and No. 3 (7 x 47). Each cigar is a Nicaraguan Puro.
