The draw is excellent, providing ample smoke with very little effort. At the back of the palate there is a deep and hearty tone of earth with a nicotine kick that puts the palate on notice. There is a slight sweetness here as well that hints strongly of pomengranate and cherry.

The profile is redolent with splendid flavors of pepper, wood and coffee. The cigar opens much like Tiger's first decade on the tour, nearly flawless.
#VIAJE SKULL AND BONES FULL#
The pre light draw is full of nicotine with some pepper flavors.

The pre light aroma is decidedly of dark fruit. My point being you can't always believe what you see. An examination reveals few flaws, of course an examination of Tiger a few years ago would yield no flaws either. As to the dimensions of this smoke, I am no fan of short fat smokes, but this one looks pretty interesting to me for some reason. The wrapper is nearly black and glistens with heavy oils, it has few veins and looks somewhat intimidating despite a diminutive size. If I were to judge a book by it's cover I would say that it will be just that. The name of these smokes is supposed to evoke an image of strength and a full bodied experience. Of course as I smoke Tiger is in contention for his first win in nearly two years. It seems fitting that I put light to flame on this cigar while watching Tiger Woods play golf, a man whose career could be symbolized by a Skull and Bones in the last two years. I continue my tour of the Viaje blends with the 2011 edition of the Skull and Bones collection.
