Viaje The Geisha Corojo

Over the years, I have found that quite a few of Viaje’s creations feature an abundance of spice, pepper or strength, or a combination of all three. That is the case with The Geisha Corojo as well, but this cigar also has something some of those other blends are lacking: a massive amount of flavor. In fact, while the flavors of tea leaves, cocoa nibs and earth are just enough to compensate for the increasingly problematic aforementioned pepper and strength during the first two thirds, any nuance present in the final third is simply overwhelmed. The Geisha Corojo is going to be a prime choice for a redux review in a year or so, and while lovers of extremely strong blends will most like likely enjoy it now, I am willing to bet that resting time will turn this into one of Viaje’s better releases.
