2017 Viaje Leaded Double Edged Sword – Just Arrived!

Anthony’s Cigar Emporium just received the 2017 Viaje Leaded Double Edged Sword.

In 2010 Viaje released an iconic 5 ¾ x 52 Double Perfecto format called the Double Edged Sword that was a Nicaraguan puro using a criollo wrapper. Only 3,125 cigars were produced and it is now highly sought after by Viaje collectors.

In 2017 Viaje is releasing the Double Edged Sword for the second time in the very popular Exclusivo Leaded blend. The Viaje Leaded Double Edged Sword will be the second release of the Exclusivo Leaded, which is an all-Nicaraguan blend using medio tiempo leaves. Medio Tiempo is one of the highest priming leafs that only grows on a very small percentage of tobacco plants – so it is often quite limited. Medio tiempo is known to provide strength, body, and flavor.

The Viaje Leaded Double Edged Sword is packaged in boxes of 25 stamped Leaded in red and the cigar has the Exclusivo Leaded label with a red and black Viaje logo.

Herrera Esteli Miami Corona – 2016 LE

The Herrera Esteli Miami Corona 2016 LE is made at El Titan de Bronze’s boutique factory in Little Havana that employs only Level 9 rollers from Cuba who continue to manufacture cigars in traditional Cuban style, including tubing the filler and finishing with a triple cap; a perfect size for a perfect Cubanesque blend. The specific Miami blend features an Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro Wrapper, Ecuadorian Sumatra Binder, and Dominican and Nicaraguan Fillers.  The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper of the regular production Herrera Esteli have added fermentation and strength in the Herrera Esteli Miami Corona.

Before joining Drew Estate, Herrera was the cigar blender for El Titan de Bronze.   Herrera was recruited by Drew Estate and spent the first 3 years at Drew Estate, predominantly in Estelí, Nicaragua adapting to working at La Gran Fabrica Drew Estate, a factory with access to some of the most innovative and diverse black tobaccos in the world. In 2013, Drew Estate released the Herrera Estelí Brand, a medium bodied, spicy, Cubanesque cigar, and followed up in 2014 the release of Herrera Estelí Norteño, a full-bodied maduro, as his sophomore release.  The Herrera Esteli Piramide Fino would go on to be named Cigar Aficionado‘s No. 8 cigar of 2013, and the following year, Herrera added Herrera Esteli Norteno.

When asked about the Herrera Esteli Miami, Herrera stated, “The journey at Drew Estate has taken me to new countries, and almost every state in the union. After 5 years, it was time to come home and work on a project where it all began for me. Going back to my roots and in my home where I was brought up has been such a blessing.”
