Viaje Cigars is a Los Angeles boutique brand owned by founder Andre Farkas, who in 2012 chose to focus on small-batch, limited releases such as Skull & Bones and the Halloween-season Full Moon. The cigars are made in Nicaragua: Cigar Aficionado reports recent releases made at Aganorsa Leaf, and the Craft Series Roots at Joya de Nicaragua. Strength typically runs from medium-bodied (the 2025 Summerfest Barber Pole) to full-bodied (The Crow and the Fifteen Plus Two and a Half anniversary editions). Release reports focus on wrappers and body rather than fixed tasting notes, and our listing gives no confirmed tasting notes, so expect the flavour to change from one release and wrapper to the next. To start, try the Viaje Zombie Alternative Artwork Preferred Retailer Sampler, which puts the Green, Red and Black Zombie side by side in 6 x 56 figurados.

Frequently asked questions about Viaje Cigars
Who makes Viaje cigars and where are they made?
Viaje is a Los Angeles boutique brand owned by its founder, Andre Farkas. Its original core lines were Platino and Oro, and since 2012 the brand has focused on limited, small-batch releases. The cigars are made in Nicaragua. Cigar Aficionado reports that recent releases such as Bird on a Branch, The Crow, Summerfest and the 2025 anniversary editions come from Aganorsa Leaf in Nicaragua; Cigar Aficionado places the anniversary cigars at Aganorsa's factory in Estelí. The Craft Series cigar Roots (2024) comes from Joya de Nicaragua, which also made the early Viaje Oro.
How strong are Viaje cigars?
Recent Viaje releases reported by Cigar Aficionado range from medium to full-bodied. In those reports, the 2025 Summerfest Barber Pole is medium-bodied, the Summerfest Habano and Maduro are medium to full-bodied, and The Crow (2024) and the Fifteen Plus Two and a Half anniversary editions (2025) are full-bodied. Each release has its own blend, so strength and flavour can differ from one to the next.
Which Viaje cigar should I try first, and how do the lines differ?
Viaje sells mostly limited, themed releases rather than permanent lines. Examples include Skull & Bones, Halloween cigars such as Full Moon and The Crow, the Summerfest collector's editions and the Craft Series. Releases come and go, so what you can buy changes over time. A good way to start is the Viaje Zombie Alternative Artwork Preferred Retailer Sampler (https://oxfordcigarcompany.com/viaje-zombie-alternative-artwork-preferred-retailer-sampler/). It has one each of the Green, Red and Black Zombie in 6 x 56 figurados. The listing has no confirmed blend details or tasting notes, so smoke the three side by side and compare.
