The Viaje Honey & Hand Grenades 2025 “The Shiv” (6.25″ × 50) is a striking Nicaraguan puro released as part of the acclaimed Honey & Hand Grenades series. Wrapped in a smooth, dark Criollo leaf, it features a figure of craftsmanship—rounded cap with a pointed foot—earning its designation as a Figurado vitola. This unique shape isn’t just for looks; it delivers a concentrated smoke, enhancing the cigar’s rich, bold profile.
On the palate, The Shiv delivers tropical sweetness and a subtle creaminess in the opening draws, quickly deepening into layers of espresso, cedar, and dark chocolate. As it progresses, a warming spice paired with mineral earthiness emerges, offering a well-balanced, full-bodied experience with a refined structure. It’s a cigar that balances deliberate power with harmonious depth—ideal for those seeking complexity in a distinctive, visually arresting format.
