These cigars are an excellent way to start the 4th of July weekend off. The Roman candle is freaking huge and an excellent tasting cigar with a very long burn time.

I love Viaje generally, but sometimes they just miss hard. The only cigar I haven’t tried in the pack is the Roman candle just because of the time I’m expect it to take to smoke. The first one I tried was flashing thunder and it was fantastic. The flavors were sweet cream, cedar, baking spice, floral, and graham crackers.
The TNT was the second one I tried and it was good not great. I loved how pepper/spice forward it was, but what I didn’t like was at times there was a dominant earthy/mineral taste I couldn’t get into.
The third one I tried was the c4. The construction/draw was bad, flavors were muted to where I just tasted burnt wet tobacco. Dry boxing may have helped but I think mine was also way over packed.

First of all I enjoyed all of these very much. Some were better than others. I’ll go in order from least favorite to most enjoyable.
C-4: the flavors were ok on this stick. The main problem I had with this one was with the construction. The draw was pretty tight and it required multiple touch ups. Wasn’t a huge fan of the box press.
Roman candle: I enjoyed the flavors on this. Good robust full flavors that I enjoyed while watching fireworks. The sheer size of the cigar makes you set aside enough time to smoke it as I had almost 3 hrs into it.
Flashing Thunder: this was a very well done habano. Got those classic graham cracker, cedar and some leather. Liked this being a standard toro parejo. Smoked very well and great draw.
TNT: this I enjoyed by far the most. Full strength and I love good corojo cigars. The flavors definitely delivered in loads. Spice, earthiness and some baking spice. This was an excellent stick.
