Tyler Jeffery is excited to introduce the latest addition to the Viso Horny lineup: The 555, debuting at the 2025 PCA Show in New Orleans. Building on the success of the brand’s debut cigar, this new release represents an evolution in both accessibility and tobacco selection.
Departing from the direct-to-consumer model of his first release, Tyler is making The 555 available to cigar retailers nationwide. “This cigar was crafted to be enjoyed by as many enthusiasts possible and partnering with top retailers across the country was the next logical step in sharing our passion,”he said.
Once again, production has been entrusted to Fábrica de Tabacos Nica Sueño S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua—a factory renowned for its dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and its people. The blend was a collaborative effort between Tyler Jeffery and Alex Nowogrodzka.
Tyler emphasizes that this release holds special significance, as he played a hands-on role in procuring a key filler leaf that defines the cigar’s final profile. “Being involved from the very beginning—personally selecting the tobacco that became part of this blend—makes The 555 deeply personal for me,” he shared. “Crafting this blend was both an exciting and rewarding challenge. Utilizing only viso primings throughout the cigar, we focused on achieving the perfect balance to ensure an exceptional burn and effortless draw. The result is a unique smoking experience that showcases the rich complexity of viso while maintaining flawless performance.”
He also highlighted the experience of working alongside Alex, saying, “Alex’s passion for tobacco is contagious, and his depth of knowledge is remarkable—especially for someone of his age. Being with him in the bodega and factory was an incredibly rewarding experience.”
