Viaje Super Shot 10 Gauge and 12 Gauge Limited Edition

Viaje​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Super Shot 10 Gauge and Viaje Super Shot 12 Gauge have become two of the most popular short-format cigars ever produced by Viaje Cigars, and their comeback is definitely welcomed by the fans of the brand. Compact, intense, and distinctly Viaje, the Super Shot series packs a powerful punch of flavor in a quick, satisfying smoke. Don’t let the short length fool you—the construction and strength of these sticks mean that they are great whenever you don’t have a lot of time, but still want a lot of flavors.

The Super Shot made its first appearance in 2012, after Viaje founder Andre Farkas was inspired by his time spent clay shooting. Like many cigar smokers, he was annoyed that he couldn’t find a cigar short enough to smoke between rounds. The answer was as simple as it was brilliant: produce two short, chunky cigars that are shaped like shotgun shells. Hence, the Viaje Super Shot 10 Gauge and 12 Gauge lines were introduced. The packaging, which looks like real shotgun shell boxes, helped the Super Shot gain immense popularity very quickly, making it one of Viaje’s releases most associated with the brand. Over the years, the company played around with different versions, such as a Buckshot wrapped in San Andrés and a Zombie-themed crossover, and now the original Super Shot is back, and it’s unchanged.

Both sizes are Nicaraguan puros with a Nicaraguan criollo wrapper, giving them the typical Viaje power. Despite being small, these sticks pack quite a punch, and you’ll get a lot out of them. They start off with a sharp pepper and earthy note, and then you’ll get some cedar, leather, roasted coffee, and light dark chocolate. Due to their large ring gauges, they give a great smoking experience, and the burn remains nice and cool, so the flavor profile stays strong and focused till the end. The brand new releases aren’t just any novelty cigars — they’re really good smokes that you can have in a short amount of time.
