Viaje Honey & Hand Grenades The Rapier is a limited-release 6 1/2 x 44 Figurado featuring a distinctive pointed foot and rounded head. The 2025 release returns to the original Honey & Hand Grenades concept with a Nicaraguan Criollo wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos.
Honey & Hand Grenades debuted in 2012 after Viaje founder Andre Farkas spent months developing the blend. The unusual shape and bright red foil are central to the series: each vitola is named after an edged weapon, while the red foil covering the lower portion of the cigar represents a bloodied blade. The Rapier is the longest and narrowest of the three classic sizes.
