The Viaje Farmer Bill Hatchet Holiday Edition is a more recent addition to the portfolio, debuting in 2021. Again, specifics about this year’s release have not been announced by the company, but it has previously been a 6 x 54 toro extra, and is offered in 25-count bundles that are presented in four different wrapping paper prints. The company has not disclosed anything about the blend, other than that it is a distinct blend from the other Farmer Bill Hatchet releases, which debuted in 2014 as an offshoot to the company’s Thanksgiving-themed Stuffed Turkey cigars. Since then, the line has grown to include a Zombie Farmer Bill Hatchet and a Mrs. Hatchet release.
The cigar is nicely made and has a nice feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was good. The initial flavors at light up were citrus, brown sugar, a lot of cinnamon, and leather. There was black pepper rated at 7 1/2. Good basic flavors. Nice start.
At the first third (29 minutes) I had the same notes, citrus (a little tangy), brown sugar, cinnamon, and leather. The leather has increased. In this particular mix it's not hurting the cigar too much. The finish is citrus and leather with very good lingering black pepper. The cigar is medium bodied with the feel it might move up. The flavors work pretty well together. I rated the first third 93.
As I moved through the second third (58 minutes) the leather is still creeping up. The same notes are in play but the cinnamon is the one you'll notice along with the leather. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is light citrus and leather with very good lingering black pepper. So, there's a little more leather but the cinnamon is right there with it. Because of this the leather didn't hurt the cigar too bad. I rated the second third 92.
The cigar lasted 1 hour 30 minutes. The leather pulled back to it's first third level allowing the citrus and brown sugar to come back up. The cinnamon is still good and did not decrease throughout. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is unchanged. I rated the final third 93. For the most part you have nice citrus and brown sugar notes with a lot of cinnamon and leather. The leather moves up and down with the most in the second third. Overall not a bad cigar.
