Viaje Genius, Andre Farkas struck Oro (Gold) with the Oro Reserva. Oro Reserva is produced at Raices Cubana factory in Honduras and is uniquely rich and complex- just as you would expect from Viaje.

Leading the show is an Aganorsa Corojo ’99 wrapper over Aganorsa Nicaragua binders and fillers.  The ORO is similar to the Platino Reserva, but is more “amp’d up”.  The newest vitola, #5 which is a 5.5 x 52 Robusto is just begging for you to light up.  Check out this buzz worthy cigar and let us know what you think.

Viaje is a Spanish word that means “journey,” and this Viaje Oro Reserva VOR No. 5 trekked through multiple tastings to reach the No. 2 position in our Top 25 tasting. Starting with the December issue of Cigar Aficionado, it scored 91 points, enough for it to merit consideration in the Top 25 contest. Then it delivered top performance after top performance to move up our rankings in subsequent Top 25 taste tests.

The Viaje Oro Reserva VOR No. 5 is a limited-production smoke made for the brand owner Andre Farkas. The flavorful cigar has notes of leather, sweet spices and a cocoa-powder finish that walks a perfectly fine line between bitter and sweet. Few things in life are as pleasant as finding an unexpected gem, and the Viaje Oro Reserva VOR No. 5 truly fits the bill.
