Viaje has released the Super Shots in years past as short run offerings, a novel short chubby smoke that comes packaged in 25 count shot shell boxes. The 12ga. and slightly larger 10ga. were released in Buckshot and regular varieties this go ’round. The Super Shot is a Nicaraguan puro and is highlighted by a Nicaragua Criollo wrapper. The Super Shot Buckshot features a San Andres wrapper over all-Nicaraguan tobaccos. Both are full-flavored, spicy cigars, and are perfect for the shorter smoke when the weather is too cold/hot to enjoy a longer smoke. Definitely worth tracking down when they are available.

Tasty and bold, classic Viaje flavors in a convenient little package. Tightly packed but nice open draw. Pepper, earth, leather, chocolate and cherry. Id buy them again if I could!

Viaje has become one of my favorite brands. Very innovative and not afraid to take chances . The super shots are great smokes when you don’t have a great deal of time for a larger cigar.
