This month a new extension to the Viaje Exclusivo line will be heading to retailers called the Viaje Exclusivo Nicaragua. It will feature an all-new blend made at the Tabacos Valle de Jalapa SA facility (Casa Fernandez’s TABSA factory) in Nicaragua.
According to Viaje, the Viaje Exclusivo Nicaragua will complement the existing Honduran-made Viaje Exclusivo line and not replace it. The original Viaje Exclusivo line is currently made in Honduras at Tabacos Raices Cubanas S. de R.L.facility (Raices Cubanas factory).
Like the existing Viaje Exclusivo, the Viaje Exclusivo Nicaragua will be a Nicaraguan puro, but will feature a new blend. Viaje Exclusivo Nicaragua will be available in the same three U.S.sizes featured in the regular production Honduran-made Viaje Exclusivo. Each of the cigars will be available in 25 count boxes.
The band to the Viaje Exclusivo Nicaragua will be similar to the Honduran-made Viaje Exclusivo, but will incorporate the colors of the Nicaraguan flag into the band.

What would have been more helpful is a close-up of the band, so that when we’re in the B&M we will know which it is that’s on the shelf.
