Tyler Jeffery officially announced the Viso Horny ‘Uncle Luke’ 452, a cigar produced at Fábrica de Tabacos Nica Sueño S.A. in Esteli, Nicaragua. Tyler is a popular cigar influencer with the famously hilarious Instagram moniker @visohonry. A few years back Tyler moved from Wisconsin to Austin Texas and was spending a lot of time at RoMa Craft headquarters where the idea for this project was born.
“Without a doubt, when it comes to tobacco, Tyler is like a dog in heat, a freak without warning. His appetite for learning about tobacco certainly justifies the moniker ‘Viso Horny,’”said Skip Martin, co-founder of RoMa Craft Tobac and Nica Sueno. “We had a lot of fun working to produce a cigar constructed entirely of viso priming filler, binder and wrapper. Tyler pushed us to move out of our comfort zone on this one.”
Tyler stated in the press release that he will be selling the cigars direct to consumer and they can contact him through his Instagram account. While pre-orders have already begun the cigar will begin shipping in late July 2023.
Wrapper: US Broadleaf
Binder: African Cameroon
Filler: Nicaraguan & Honduran
Vitola: 4×52
Production: 2500 10 ct. bundles
MSRP: $10 per cigar
One final note…. it would be sad not to share the full press release with the world because it was one of the funniest press releases we have ever received at Dojo headquarters. So without further adieu here is the original release…
Viso Horny is a concept blend that will bring some spice into the seco lives of connoisseurs. The blend features four different Nicaraguan and Honduran viso long-filler variatals, an African Cameroon viso binder and US Broadleaf viso wrapper. The first release of this blend, a 4×52 petite robusto, also known as the ‘Uncle Luke’, is short, but will have you loving it long time.
Teased on Instagram since the blending process began just prior to the COVID pandemic in March 2020, this long-anticipated release is the culmination of years of hard work, passion and patience. After years of fine-tuning and caressing it has reached its full potential for its release in the summer of 2023.
Due to the limited availability of a rare Somoto filler, this will likely be a one-time release. A total of 2,500 cigars will be packaged and offered in 10 count bundles with an MSRP of $10/$100. While some retailers may be disgusted to see the traditional go-to-market model busted, Tyler Jeffery aka Viso Horny will distribute the cigars utilizing a direct-to-consumer model, and he has begun accepting pre-orders via his Instagram account (@visohorny) and email ([email protected]). The cigars are estimated to be shipped to customers in late July.
Viso Horny was master-blended by tobacco savant Tyler Jeffery. Before moving to Austin, TX, Tyler worked at Havana Lounge and Cigar in West Allis, Wisconsin and most recently Lake Country Cigars in Delafield, Wisconsin. Tyler has travelled to Nicaragua annually over the last five years to study under many notable tobacco industry veterans. With ‘Uncle Luke’ he has snatched the pebble from the masters’ hand.
“Without a doubt, when it comes to tobacco, Tyler is like a dog in heat, a freak without warning. His appetite for learning about tobacco certainly justifies the moniker ‘Viso Horny,’”said Skip Martin, co-founder of RoMa Craft Tobac and Nica Sueno. “We had a lot of fun working to produce a cigar constructed entirely of viso priming filler, binder and wrapper. Tyler pushed us to move out of our comfort zone on this one.”
