Viaje's new Alternate Artwork series debuts with the return of the Zombie trio in a brand-new 6 × 56 figurado, wrapped in packaging built from designs pulled out of Viaje's own archives.
Alternate Artwork is a new project from Viaje that reaches into the company's design archives — resurrecting cover art that was originally proposed for its releases but never used. In Viaje's own words: “Every Viaje release begins long before the cigars are boxed. As a new line takes shape, the artwork moves through countless drafts and variations before the final design is chosen. Alternate Artwork was created to give those designs their moment.” Every release in the series pairs the recovered artwork with a size or shape never before offered in that line.
The first Alt Art drop brings back the full Zombie trio — Green, Red, and Black — in a 6 × 56 figurado never before produced in this line, with new bands and new box artwork drawn from the Viaje vault.
The Three Blends
- Zombie Green: Nicaraguan Criollo wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. Earthy spice, cedar, and a touch of natural sweetness — the line's traditional expression, now in a new format.
- Zombie Red: Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler. Deeper and sweeter than the Green, with chocolate, dried fruit and earth carrying the finish.
- Zombie Black: Blend undisclosed by Viaje. Historically the darkest and most limited of the trio — described by the brand as a refined balance of complexity and strength.

What's an “Alt Art” Release?
Every Alternate Artwork release does two things at once: it releases a Viaje blend in a size or shape that particular line has never seen before, and it dresses the cigar in art that Viaje considered but never shipped. Collectors get both a new expression of a favorite blend and a piece of the brand's design history in one release.
Available at Tinder Box as a single or a 25-count box in any of the three blends. Preorder now to secure your allocation.
