The Viaje Mini Moon & Viaje Mini Moon Edicion Limitada are limited production cigars.
With attention to detail, The Mini Moon is a 4 7/8 x 52 short robusto Nicaraguan puro with a Dark Corojo wrapper. The Mini Moon Edicion Limitada is a San Andrés Maduro version of the Mini Moon in the same size wearing the Edición Limitada band. Both have vintage Nicaraguan filler and binder leaves.
Noted reviewer KATMAN rates the Mini Moon a respectable 93. His description is spot on. “It is a well-crafted melding of Nicaraguan leaves that you’ll enjoy as the blend is pointedly consistent.” When it comes to the Edicion Limitada he rates this one an astounding 96 and raves. “Incredible cigar. Creaminess appears like a dust devil. Totally out of the blue. It wraps the flavor profile with vanilla ice cream goodness.”
Without a doubt, either one is a top pick. From inception up to the present, these cigars are hard to come by. So get them when we have them if you don’t want to miss out.

Foundation Metapa Claro is another one of this company’s very special cigars.
Like it’s Maduro counterpart, this edition uses an old-school strategy in terms of wrapper shade. This complex recipe utilizes a Nicaraguan filler from two prime growing regions in Nicaragua. Add to this a dark grade A Connecticut Broadleaf binder and you know it’s something special. Encasing everything is a silky smooth Sumatran wrapper. The result is what you’d expect from Nick and the AJ Fernandez factory.
The critics at Halfwheel emphatically say Metapa Claro is an excellent cigar to smoke right now.
Developing Palates describes this medium to full bodied cigar as a flavorful smoke. Think cinnamon, cedar, chocolate, cream, nuts, natural tobacco. It was no surprise when Cigar Dojo named this foundation creation as their top cigar for 2023.
