Another Viaje?
 
Just read an article about a new Viaje White Label Project. Looks to be an offshoot of the Viaje Summerfest. Anybody have any info about where I might be able to snag a few?

Was reading that something like only 5 stores will get them.

That's what I saw as well. Only about 1250 total cigars being released.

They were test blended samples, or "experimental". I had a chance to get a bundle via Newhavana, but passed. They sold out shortly after that. Just not chasing Viaje's anymore. the payoff isn't there for me.

Yeah they're all sold out. I got a tip about it on Saturday, but by the time I woke they were all sold.

How does it compare to the Holiday Blend 2010, they were great as well...

'Do you have one to sale'...lol

Since it's supposed to be a tweaked Summerfest blend, is the White Label close or miles apart?

Damn how did I miss these.....Oh well if there's only 1250 produced I'm not worried about it. I'm sure they are worth it though, Viaje's never disappoint.

Lighting one up shortly. Hope they are good

Maybe I'll try another later on. Must be out of this world for somebody to pay $400 for a bundle of 25... :rolleyes:

Too many new blends floating around. Hard to find one to buy.

Devanmc 02-01-2011 09:43 AM

Re: Another Viaje?
 
That's why you buy them all!

I was in shock with that.

I am over Viaje. The ROI just isn't there for me any more. It is sad, as I have enjoyed the sticks I have smoked from them, and really enjoyed bombing the crap out of people with their HTF stuff. I am just not going to buy into it any longer.

Starz26 02-01-2011 10:32 PM

Re: Another Viaje?
 
When I smoked it I got the feeling it was a cross of the Samuri and Summerfest.....

It was a good cigar, not for $400 a bundle but for the MSRP, a good cigar...

Where did the msrp on these fall? I ended up having to pass on a bundle of these, but I've seen from $7.50 to $9.50 a stick

Bill86 02-02-2011 10:12 AM

Re: Another Viaje?
 
I heard 7.50 ISH a stick. If I could net them for that ISH.....O_O.

These taste nothing like the Holiday Blend. Some people (like myself) found that the Summerfest shaggy torpedo and the robusto to taste different. At times, it did resemble a little Summerfest shaggy torp. Had that sweet but unique tobacco. I found these to be more on the medium side. Lots of great Viaje taste, but not a whole lot of spice.

And someone mentioned that these were going for $400 a bundle? Wow, that's all I can say.

They were put up for sale on a forum at $400 and then quickly listed as sold, but the seller is suspect and there's no way of knowing if they actually sold. If it they did sell it wouldn't likely happen again...

I don't want to comment on the way people set their prices. I can just speak for myself and I could never do that, that's not why I got into this hobby.
