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.

Thanks again to Justin for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin' :shooter:

Since I was the first to respond and get mine (2 days on shipping), I didn't mention the extra's that were thrown in so that other folks would be surprised.
Thanks for the extra's. There are a few that I have not tried yet and can't wait to.
Got mine, will review asap...thanks for the hitchhikers! :biggrin: :bigthumbs:
Enjoy everyone! I'm looking forward to all of the reviews!
Review is done thanks Justin for a fine cigar. :biggrin:
Saturday's the day! 5 day reminder for May reviews!

Just about done with this one.
Tax season kicked my butt this year. Should be signed, sealed and delivered in a day or so.
It's a great weekend to wrap up your May review! (If you happen to be running behind...)
Daughter is getting married today.... Yeah I'm freaking out a little... Should still be able to get it in on the deadline.
