Viaje Skull and Bones Red Big Ivan
Nuclear Power · Limited Wildness
The Viaje Skull and Bones Red series is named after nuclear weaponry, and the Big Ivan is its most destructive iteration. Its name is derived from history's most powerful hydrogen bomb, the "Tsar Bomba," also known as Big Ivan. Viaje uses this name to symbolize the cigar's extreme strength and overwhelming experience. Since its debut in 2011, the series has become one of Viaje’s most iconic limited-edition lines thanks to its bold and wild character.
This Big Ivan features a deep Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper paired with powerful Nicaraguan tobaccos. Lighting it triggers a nuclear-like explosion of rich cocoa and earthy aromas, followed by waves of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, leather, dried fruit peel, and an intense kick of black pepper and spices. The body is full and robust, the burn is consistent, and the finish is long and intense—a true heavyweight contender crafted specifically for the experienced smoker.
Size: Big Ivan (5 × 60), a thick and powerful Gordo format with a long burn time (approx. 50-70 minutes), making it the most potent and ultimate experience in the Skull and Bones Red series.
