Distinctive Design & Appearance

Each Honey & Hand Grenades cigar features a unique and instantly recognizable shape with a rounded parejo-style cap and a perfecto foot. The cigars are adorned with eye-catching bright red foil covering the foot and a distinctive band featuring the playful bee with a hand grenade body logo.

The Nicaraguan Criollo wrapper presents a beautiful oak-like color with a slight oily sheen. The construction is impeccable with minimal visible veins and well-hidden seams, showcasing the premium craftsmanship that Viaje is known for.

Flavor Profile & Smoking Experience

This Nicaraguan puro delivers a masterful balance of sweetness and strength, just as founder Andre Farkas intended. The smoking journey begins with medium strength that gradually builds to medium-full by the second half, offering:

• Natural tobacco sweetness with subtle floral notes
• Rich oak undertones
• A peppery spice that intensifies throughout the smoke
• Creamy texture with excellent complexity
• Perfect balance between savory and sweet elements

The burn quality is outstanding despite the unorthodox shape, requiring minimal maintenance to keep the burn line straight. Expect a cool, firm nub at the end of your approximately two-hour smoking experience.

A Labor of Love

Andre Farkas, Viaje’s founder, spent considerable time perfecting this blend, noting: “A lot of time went into this cigar… I have been blending it for a long time. It took about four or five months to blend it. It has a unique shape, a Torpedo foot, and a round head. All of the names are all names of weapons… after you stick someone, well, the blade gets red, so there is the red foil.”

Limited Availability

As with all Viaje releases, these cigars are produced in extremely small batches. Once they’re gone, they likely won’t be available again until the next production cycle. Don’t miss your opportunity to experience these meticulously crafted cigars that have consistently impressed even the most discerning enthusiasts.

Perfect for both experienced cigar smokers and those looking to graduate to something with more complexity and character.
