Each sampler is tailored for connoisseurs seeking depth, structure, and nuanced complexity across both historic blends and contemporary innovations.

- Highlight: Circa ’45 Reserva, crafted at TABSA (Nicaragua) with a San Andrés Maduro wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and fillers, box-pressed for ideal burn
- Path of Totality: a bold, 6″ x 54 toro with San Andrés Maduro wrapper, Nicaraguan core, and a creamy-cocoa-forward profile
- Rich, evolving palate: expect flavors of dark chocolate, cedar, espresso, subtle vanilla, creamy texture, and medium to bold progression
- Limited production: sampler and its components are only available through preferred retailers, making it a rare find for collectors
This selection walks you through Viaje’s lineage start to modern ventures, beginning with the creamy, cocoa-driven Circa ’45 and ascending to the robust, box-pressed richness of Path of Totality. Each blend is noted for excellent draw and construction, marrying retro-craft aesthetics with forward-thinking profiles. The San Andrés Maduro wrapper on both the Circa ’45 Reserva and Path of Totality amplifies depth, structure, and that telltale espresso finish.
