Back on Episode 192 of Stogie Geeks, Viaje President Andre Farkas discussed a new project he was launching at the 2016 IPCPR Trade Show known as the Viaje Birthday Blend. The Birthday Blend draws its inspiration from Old Forester’s Birthday Bourbon, which is an annual release to commemorate Old Forester founder George Garvin Brown’s birthday. […] Key flavors: Chocolate, Earth, Red Pepper, Cedar, Cherry, some “meaty” notes.

Viaje Birthday Blend 2016

I may have said this at some point in a previous review, but if I did, it is certainly a rarity, especially for a good cigar: the number one thing I wished for from the Viaje Birthday Blend cigar was less of it, or at least that it took less time to get through it. The Viaje Birthday Blend is quite good in numerous spots; the first third can be downright divine with its complexity and balance between sweetness, earth and pepper, and while I’m not a fan of the dryness of the subsequent thirds, it doesn’t condemn this cigar to a negative score, but it certainly detracts from what the number could have been. But rarely if ever have I smoked a cigar that has burned this slowly, from what I can tell is an overfilling of the cigar by the roller and probably some very delicious, oily leaves that are full of flavor but not the most combustion friendly. Maybe the cigar will get quicker with time, maybe the slowness is part and parcel of the experience; either way, if you've got the time, this is a cigar worth trying.

The Viaje Birthday Blend Gold 2022 started well and I was enjoying the punchiness of the spice. In the second third, when the spice mellowed and the earth gained a bigger role, the profile dropped a level and maintained that the rest of the way. This cigar is a step up from some of the more recent Viaje's I've smoked, but still not a level of something I'd come back to all that often.
