Viaje Introduces The Crow: A New Halloween Cigar Experience

For more than a decade, Viaje has embraced the Halloween season with a series of special cigar releases, and this year, the brand is taking a fresh direction with The Crow. This new addition is crafted entirely from Nicaraguan tobacco and wrapped in a rich, dark Corojo ’99 leaf, which gives it a bold and fittingly eerie presence for the spooky season.

Starting October 16th, The Crow will be shipped to retailers. This limited edition cigar comes in one size—5 1/2 inches by 50 ring gauge—and will retail for $9.60 per stick. Over the years, Viaje’s Halloween releases have included popular options like Full Moon and Mini Moon, but in 2024, owner Andre Farkas opted for a shift in focus. Instead of continuing the Full Moon series, Farkas drew inspiration from the crow, a subtle emblem that has adorned previous Viaje Halloween releases. He decided it was time for this ominous figure to take centre stage with its own dedicated cigar line.

Farkas explained that the crow had been a recurring motif on the packaging of their Halloween cigars for years, often overlooked but always present. With The Crow, this symbol now commands the spotlight, taking on a deeper, more prominent role in Viaje’s seasonal offerings.

Like many of Viaje’s cigars, The Crow is produced at the renowned Aganorsa Leaf factory in Nicaragua, known for its expertise in crafting premium blends. The cigars will be packaged in boxes of 15, making them a compelling collector’s item for enthusiasts of Halloween-themed smokes. Unlike the common seasonal flavours like candy corn or pumpkin spice, The Crow delivers a full-bodied smoking experience, setting itself apart from previous releases with its bold, unique character.

As Farkas brings The Crow to life, it becomes a striking symbol of Viaje’s ongoing dedication to innovation and craftsmanship, especially in its seasonal cigars.
