Viaje Plantino
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo 99
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Made In: Nicarauga
Size: Chiva – 5×52 robusto
Price: About $8 per single
Appearance & Construction: The Viaje Plantino is a very nice looking cigar. The chocolate colored wrapper has a slight tint of red to it and has some very small veins running throughout. The seams are even and the roll looks great. The cigar sports a nice looking green, silver and white primary band and a silver cloth foot band which is a nice added touch.
Smoking Characteristics: The draw on this cigar was a bit snug compared to the others I smoked before this review but it gave me enough smoke to satisfy me. The burn was even for the most part and the ash, although a dark gray, was compact and had zero flowering. The body of the Viaje is medium to full while the strength is average.
Flavor: The Viaje Plantio starts off with some nice earthy coffee like flavors along with some red pepper spice. The flavors are very rich and pronounced on the Viaje and I really like that about this cigar. The flavors didn’t change much in the second third but the final third offered and even more intense flavor profile.
Final Thoughts: Overall I really enjoyed the Viaje Pantino. The flavors are nice and pronounced and are defiantly not shy. As stated in my review of the Viaje Holiday Blend, these guys are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. The last cigar I have to review in the Viaje line is the Oro and I am already betting that I will not be disappointed. Another thing I like about Viaje cigars is they fit that Don Pepin, Tatuaje profile but are just slightly different and it is a good smoke for cigar enthusiast who like that sort of flavor profile.
