"These two are arriving at stores next week. No specifics as of yet"...

Thanks for the heads up, might have to look into some of these.

Every viaje I have tried has been awesome. But I think I'm done buying $15 NC's

I guess the hardest thing for me is the constant high end small batch release. At first I thought it was pretty cool. What gets old is constantly trying new $10-$20 cigars that 1. I have no idea if I'll actually like; and 2. If I do like/love them are now no longer available.

There are tons of great $10-20 regular production cigars that always seem to beat these limited release cigars. The Opus X Double Robusto, the Padron (just about any of the 64s, 26s, etc. Not to mention ones like the Siglo VI, PSD No. 4, etc.

If they are both the same blend as the TNT, I'll pass.

Agreed. The TNT was my least favorite Viaje.

where'd you get that from?

kelmac07 · 03-20-2011, 05:14 PM

I was told that the blend is gonna be close to the original release Skull 'N Bones. If that's the case...

Sure, but that is what they said about the S&BII as well...

True.

Bill86 · 03-20-2011, 05:59 PM

Looks like I'll let this one go and let the masses decide how good these are.

03-20-2011, 06:39 PM

Not sure if anybodies smoked the S&B ? recently...but I'm wishing I had held onto more than I did. Not as good as the Daisy Cutter...but really solid. If it has a skull & crossbones on it...I'm gonna buy it. I would rather have em, not like em and sell em...than not have em, find out I like em and have to pay somebody (pronounced: dirt bag) $3 more per stick because there's none let anywhere.

Walt...I've heard these have a RED Skull & Crossbones on the band and was given the word thermo-nuclear. We shall see.

neoflex · 03-20-2011, 07:22 PM

I guess I am in the minority of guys who liked the TNT. Rationing my last two.

I just smoked the Candela tonight and I enjoyed it but the recent Exclusivo was still green IMHO so I am curious to see how these two new sticks smoke.

$3 more per stick because there's none left anywhere.

Ah-h-h...Ow that hurts. Now I have never sold a NC cigar for....well, anything actually.
But I have flipped the script a few times for lack of a better term. But I guess I am
comfortable with the term dirtbag.

I always thought of myself more as 'helpful'.

A facilitator. A forward thinker. A capitalistic humanitarian. A dirtbag with a heart of gold.

But yeah....a dirtbag.

Sorry if I offended you. I guess that I should really look in the mirror if I'm going to be making such comments. I've sold sticks here for a dollar or more each at times myself. Once the cigar is paid for, the owner can do what they wish with it. I just keep a general guideline in mind...NO PROFITEERING. If I can't pass along a stick or two at a fair price...then it's because I'm a greedy self centered bastard that just wants to keep them all for myself, so that I can hand them out to friends. I just don't buy cigars to sell them.

Guess I really shot myself in the foot as far as selling any Franks or Pork Tenderloins, after that comment...

Wait, you have Tenderloins for sale?

Brooks W · 03-20-2011, 08:29 PM

It does seem like the vast majority of the Recent (read: in the last year) Viaje releases have been VERY young and green tasting...

Other then the Tower 45th (which goes on sale in April), most likely because it has been sitting for 8 months or so after being rolled...

E.J. · 03-22-2011, 09:55 AM

I just couldn't justify paying this premimum on the sticks...
Skull & Bones WMD 3.75x54 $9.95each/boxes of 25.
Skull & Bones MOAB 4.25x54 $10.40 each/box of 100.
