Viaje Skull and Bones Big Ivan

Description

The Viaje Skull and Bones Big Ivan carries a name with real historical weight — a reference to Tsar Bomba, the Soviet hydrogen bomb tested in 1961 and still considered the most powerful weapon ever detonated.

Construction & Origin

This 5 x 60 Gordo is finished in a dark, oily San Andrés Maduro wrapper with a traditional cap, hand-rolled in small, genuinely limited quantities. Big Ivan was the first 60-ring-gauge cigar in the entire Skull and Bones series when it debuted in 2013, and Viaje has periodically revisited the name with different blends over the years — true to Skull and Bones tradition, the company has never officially disclosed complete filler and binder details for any release in the line.

Flavor Profile

Full in strength, Big Ivan leans dark and steady, delivering espresso, leather, earth, and pepper over a broad, oily profile that holds its intensity from first light to last. It’s built for experienced smokers looking for real depth, not a casual introduction to the brand.

Why It’s Sought After

Most Skull and Bones releases take their names from historic bombs, and Big Ivan is one of the series’ most enduring entries — reviewers consistently rank it among the stronger, more memorable batches in the whole line. With Viaje’s small-batch philosophy meaning every run sells through fast and rarely returns unchanged, this remains a genuine collector’s pickup whenever a new batch appears.
