The geisha is way too good. I wish they made mountains of these cigars so I could smoke them whenever I want.

They geisha’s are both very good strong complex cigars. The hamaki didn’t hit a home run with me. I’d buy the geisha’s again

Viaje has Ben on fire 🔥 with their recent limited releases. These smokes are so worth hunting down if you’re looking for something different in terms of complex flavors and medium to full strength. The Geisha is definitely one not to miss!
