Viaje White Label Project Birthday Blend 6 x 52 Torpedo

This is where it all started — the original White Label Project release of Viaje’s now-iconic Birthday Blend, first launched in August 2016 to celebrate founder Andres Farkas’ birthday, one year before the line broke off to get its own dedicated branding.

Construction & Origin

Released under Viaje’s White Label Project banner — a catchall series the company used for a wide range of blends before the line found its footing — this torpedo carries the plain, generic packaging typical of early WLP releases: a simple white band and understated box, a stark contrast to the dedicated artwork Birthday Blend would later get once it graduated into its own line in 2017. True to Viaje’s hallmark secrecy, the wrapper, binder, and filler are undisclosed, though it’s a 6″ x 52 torpedo — a shape chosen deliberately because it resembles a lit candle. Like nearly all Viaje releases, production was genuinely limited: the original run totaled just 300 boxes of 38 cigars each.

Flavor Profile

Medium to full strength, with notes of earth, pepper, cocoa, baker’s spice, and a natural tobacco sweetness running throughout — classic Viaje character in an appropriately understated package.

Why It’s Sought After

As the very first Birthday Blend release, this is a genuine piece of Viaje history — the origin point for what’s since become one of the brand’s most anticipated annual traditions. Combined with the plain WLP-era packaging (a detail collectors specifically look for) and a production run of just a few hundred boxes total, this is a rare find for anyone tracking the full lineage of Farkas’ birthday tradition.
