In 2009, Viaje launched the Holiday Blend, a green and silver-banded, full bodied cigar that fittingly shipped in December. Since then, there have been 11 Holiday Blend releases, including three barberpole releases known as Candy Cane. Like many Viajes of the last year, Candy Cane has moved to the Dominican Republic. The first 10 versions of Holiday Blend were produced at Raíces Cubanas in Honduras, but it is now being produced at PDR Cigars. This year’s version uses a combination of Brazilian arapiraca and Ecuadorian habano wrappers over a Dominican and Nicaraguan binder and fillers. The cigar was sold in a bundle, which was a new take for the line, and is box-pressed, something that’s new to Candy Cane. The other big change is that this year’s cigar has the Edición Limitada band which means that this exact cigar—blend and size—won’t ever be produced again.
