After a one-year hiatus, Viaje’s Thanksgiving seasonal release, the Viaje Stuffed Turkey, is making a return – but this year with a twist. This year’s version has been dubbed the Viaje Stuffed Turkey Edición Limitada and will feature box-pressed versions of the White Meat (Natural wrapper) and Dark Meat (Maduro) wrapper blends.
The Viaje Stuffed Turkey made its debut in 2011 as a Nicaraguan puro. Measuring 5 x 60, it also marked the company’s first 60 ring gauge cigar. It was originally released as a part of the “White Label Project” line. This line is a mechanism for Viaje to release experimental blends and sizes, factory errors, etc.
In 2012, the Stuffed Turkey was expanded to two blends. The original 2011 blend was rebranded as the Stuffed Turkey White Meat, and a San Andres Maduro wrapped version was added and dubbed the Stuffed Turkey Dark Meat.
The Stuffed Turkey White Meat and Dark Meat versions returned in 2013. For 2014, the sizes were changed to 5 x 58 cigars. In addition, the Stuffed Turkey White Meat and Dark Meat versions were moved out of the White Label Project series and received its own banding and packaging.
The 5 x 58 White and Dark Meat versions returned again in 2015, but for 2016 the line was given a year off.
The new Viaje Stuffed Turkey Edición Limitada White Meat and Dark Meat versions feature the same tobacco components as previous versions, but use a different vintage of the tobaccos. Both blends are packaged in 25-count boxes.
