Detailed Description
Viaje Zombie Peppers Black is a modern boutique legend, stemming from Andre Farkas’ imaginative “Zombie” saga. This robusto-extra cigar (5 3/16” x 55) is built as a full Nicaraguan puro—showcasing a dark, oily Criollo wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers, all masterfully blended for pronounced character. The cigar opens with a blast of pepper and black spice through the nose, then quickly eases into a delicious succession of chocolate, roasted coffee, earth, and wispy floral notes. As it burns, the pepper recedes, allowing secondary flavors of sweetness and rich cocoa to shine.
Performance is smooth, with excellent draw (sometimes tight, always rewarding) and a slow, even burn. Reviewers consistently cite the blend’s mature flavor development, making each stick a journey prized by both seasoned collectors and the daringly curious. Each yearly release sells out rapidly—especially given its coveted “infected” branding. If you crave bold Nicaraguan blends with cult mystique, this one deserves a place at the top of your list.

Come to the darker side… 🖤 these zombie peppers black are a click beyond the red, think a charred sweetness like a marshmallow left over the campfire a little too long… with earthy notes.
