The Cigar: Viaje Honey and Hand Grenades (HHG) Rapier (6.5 x 44)

The Hype - The Viaje Honey & Hand Grenades (HHG) cigar line had been in the works for two years before finally being showcased at the 2012 IPCPR Trade Show. The wait was well worth it. The cigars look amazing and are a guaranteed hit.

Viaje Founder Andre Farkas came up with the name for this cigar from the cigar's profile. The name describes a combination of sweetness and strength in the blend, that isn't necessarily a common combination. The cigar is a Nicaraguan puro using all Nicaraguan Aganorsa leaf tobacco, shrouded in a dark rich Nicaraguan Criollo wrapper. The Viaje Honey & Hand Grenades are a limited production, small batch release, created in three sizes, all in a Perfecto shape. The Honey and Hand Grenades come packaged in 25-count boxes.

I'm interested to see the results of this one. I've smoked a couple and can't make up my mind on it. I'll think you'll get 5 guys easy so I won't add my name.
