A pleasant shopping experience begins with praising Pandacigar for limiting the purchase of this cigar, allowing more friends to enjoy this cigar.
This cigar burns for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, allowing me to enjoy the pepper and cinnamon scents characteristic of the Don Pepin within a relatively short period of time.
Overall smoking experience: Unlike many other brands of small cigars, this cigar has a rich and pure smoke, with its distinctive pepper aroma providing me with a great sense of satisfaction in a short period of time. At the middle stage of combustion, there is a distinct cinnamon aroma and a slight leather scent. The overall performance is quite good.
Viaje Skull and Bones Red Big Ivan
Nuclear Power · Limited Edition Wildness
The Viaje Skull and Bones Red series is named after nuclear weapons, and Big Ivan is the most destructive among them. Big Ivan is named after the most powerful hydrogen bomb in history, "Tsar Bomba," also known as Big Ivan. Viaje uses this name to represent the extreme power and shocking experience of this cigar. Since its debut in 2011, this series has become one of Viaje's most iconic limited editions due to its bold and wild style.
This Big Ivan features a dark Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper paired with powerful Nicaraguan tobaccos. Once lit, it explodes with rich cocoa and earthy aromas like a nuclear blast, followed by layers of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, leather, dried fruit peel, and a powerful impact of black pepper and spices. The flavor is full-bodied and robust, with a stable burn and a long, intense finish. It is a true powerhouse prepared for experienced cigar smokers.
Size: Big Ivan (5 × 60), a thick and robust Gordo vitola with a longer smoking time (approximately 50-70 minutes), making it the most powerful and extreme version in the Skull and Bones Red series.
