I love the farmer series from Viaje and this holiday bill version definitely does not disappoint. The cigar is very cedar forward with underlying notes of dark bitter coffee, and balanced by a pepper retro. There is not much for transitions, but the flavor profile is right up my alley. The candy cane flavor notes reminded me of chocolate covered coffee beans, with a graham cracker sweetness, slight almond nuttiness, with a touch of red pepper. Construction on both were incredible.

The Viaje Cigars limited production duo, the Farmer Bill Hatchet and the 2023 Candy Cane, left an indelible mark on my holiday smoking this year. The Farmer Bill Hatchet, with its unique flavor profile, showcased notes reminiscent of a lumber yard, complemented by a delightful hint of blonde roast coffee and subtle hot chocolate undertones. The craftsmanship behind this cigar is evident, as each draw reveals a complexity that keeps you intrigued from start to finish.
As for the 2023 Candy Cane, it proved to be a delightful contrast with its rich and bold character. The dark roast coffee and dark chocolate notes intertwined seamlessly, heightened by a touch of black pepper for a flavorful punch. Beyond its impressive flavor profile, this cigar burned exceptionally well, producing a super solid ash that spoke to its impeccable construction. Viaje Cigars has truly outdone themselves with this limited production pair, offering a memorable and satisfying experience for cigar enthusiasts seeking something extraordinary.

These were an absolute joy to smoke! Both of these were delicious in their own right.
Farmer Bill Hatchet: this was my favorite out of the two. This gave me cedar, light roast coffee and some subtle cocoa nibs. At times I got sweetness from the wrapper in the fork of honey Graham cracker. Construction was great and draw was perfect.
Candy cane: on this I got chocolate, expresso, cedar and graham cracker from this beautiful barber pole. I have been enjoying a lot of viaje stuff lately as the holidays are the main time they release their stuff. They seem to never disappoint with these awesome releases and I’m super glad oxford gets these for us to try!
