The thought did cross my mind. The shop is 200 miles away from me, and I can't think of that being "on the way" to anywhere. Except maybe Chicago.

I did ask Mike (wanger) to pick some up for me if he has a chance to, mainly because I have tried a few viaje so far and liked them a lot and can't get them on this side of the pond. Normally I do go for larger sizes, but this stick sounds interresting to me. (also the price isnt too bad if you look at the prices they charge for most sticks over here)

hell, price isn't too bad for minnesota. So you all know there is a 70% of wholesale tax here so this is pretty good as far as I'm concerned.

I'm a huge Viaje fan, but these latest release have really been so so for me. If I come across the Zombie for a good price without jumping through hoops, I'll try them, but I'm not going on a Indiana Jones type quest for them.

I hear you as I feel there have been more releases from Andre lately that were still green than not. Hopefully letting them nap improves upon them although the latest S&B release was right up my alley.

Agreed! I ordered one of the 100 boxes that sold out in two minutes from Tobacco Grove, so hopefully it went through :noon

Mac, did you get an email order confirmation and if so, does that mean your order went through and is getting processed?

kelmac07 04-22-2011 05:22 PM

Re: Viaje Zombie
 
I did receive an email confirmation. Means they have your order...IF they get what they are being told they will get, then we SHOULD be good to go. Playing the waiting game now brother!! :D When you see your CC charged for $ 210...then you know you are good to go. :tu

You're only human, brother.:r They do look fantastic. I hope your order gets through without any hitches. If you did get a box you won't need to hunt down 2-3. Enjoy. I know they are a tad bit small, but so are many other damned fine cigars.

Devan, Check the link at the beginning of this thread. I believe 30 sold online tonight at TG and the last 30 will be on sale online tomorrow at their other store, BURN.

"FYI burn cigars is selling pre-orders on these now. Only 8 boxes left, though, for out-of-staters"

Just received this email from Tobacco Grove...guess I better keep my fingers crossed. Can't be mad with this, as this is stellar communication. :tu :tu

"Thank you for placing your order for the Viaje Zombie!

The response was overwhelming. We had to turn the shopping cart off after 90 seconds! Within that first 90 seconds, we received over 50 orders. As you know, we are only able to fill 30 orders. They will be filled base on the time the order was received. We will be sending out official notice on Monday, April 25th notifying the lucky 30.

We apologize, in advance, to those of you whose order we will not be able to fill.
Tobacco Grove thanks you for your continued support.

Very truly yours,

Jim Martin
Marketing Director
Tobacco Grove

Well, if they closed the cart within 90 seconds when did you guys place your orders?

6 pm.....one minute prior on the TG site, you couldn't click buy/add cart, but right at 6pm you could...then as soon as my order was confirmed, I refreshed the page and they were sold out. :sh

This song, Whitney Houston's I will always love you, and REM's shiny happy people make me contemplate killing myself by jumping head first into a wood chipper.

Since I hadn't seen any pictures yet, I thought I should share.
When I read about the Zombie release I asked someone to pick me up some.
Since I only had a few viaje before and always missed out on special editions and such in the past, I didnt really expect to get any, but michael came trough in a big way

BURN is only about 20 minutes south of my dorm... I wish I could have made it down there.

pektel 04-25-2011 12:11 PM

Re: Viaje Zombie
 
I wonder if they actually sold out in store too...

Wanger 04-25-2011 12:15 PM

Re: Viaje Zombie
 
I was at Burn over lunch, and James said that there would not be many left for sale in the store on Saturday, and that there would likely be a limit of 1 stick per. On my way home Friday, I picked up that box for Simon at Tobacco Grove (they are sister stores). I got there at about 4:15, and the event started at 4, and was lucky enough to get that one. There was a 1 box limit (so all I got was that box). I saw a few of the sticks out, and they are pretty cool little things. Triple capped at both ends, but the foot is still designated to be the one toasted. Once I get the package off to Simon and he unseals the box, you'll be able to see them (unless someone else scored some and get theirs sooner than he does). I was told by Joel that they are not ready yet, and could use at least a month of rest time before firing them up. Happy smoking to those of you who got them! -(P-(P-(P
