Viaje President Andre Farkas announced the ninth vitola in the Viaje Exclusivo line – the Viaje Exclusivo Super Lance. The announcement was made on his Facebook page.
The Viaje Super Lance measures 7 1/2 x 46. It is best to look at this as having the ring gauge of a Corona Gorda and the length of a lancero (7 1/2).
Viaje has announced four cigars in the past few weeks: Viaje Zombie Super Shot, Viaje WLP Super Shot, the limited Viaje Exclusivo Chiquito 2013 (to four retailers), and now the Viaje Super Lance.
We had an opportunity to smoke a pre-release of this cigar. Click here for our thoughts and perspectives.
