Man, I love reading every single day people constantly complaining about how many new NC's are coming out [/sarcasm off]

If you don't want all these new cigars, don't buy them.

I like having the option to not smoke the same cigar every day. Variety is the spice of life

C1garfan, thank you for posting this information. I might have never known. The WMD is one of the best sticks I've had in a while. If this is better than the WMD, and I can get some, I'll be more than happy to.

I think it's gonna be fun to actually go to one of these events. I've never been to one before.

While I'm a huge fan of Viaje cigars (just not the Exclusivo line)...but enough is enough. $ 10 a stick for these miniature sticks??? Come on man!!

Ummmmm mac... 4.5 x 52 isn't exactly miniature to me... that's almost your
ideal size isn't it?

On another note, I wish I could go to the even to meet Arsenio Ramos... that
guy is the Man!

Not even close. $ 10.50 for a stick that is ALMOST a robusto???

I'm with Mac, It's a perfecto you're losing 1/2 inch on the SoB as soon as you clip the end. It's a 4 1/4 x 52 as far as I'm concerned. Not to mention the first 1/4 - 1/2 of that you smoke is nearly nothing.

Definitely disappointing as far as Price-cigar ratio.

I see your point, but what's the difference between paying $10 for a smaller vitola, and paying $20 for the new SI 15 Padron 6 x 60? I will pay 10 bucks all day for a quality smoke regardless of size!

Because no one would pay the $20 for a 60x6. That and Padrons are way overpriced.

Tatuaje = MASS LE releases
Viaje LATELY = tons of smaller huge RG cigars for too high or a price.

Either way you lose they win. Gotta get off that NC boat and over to the darkside!

From what I understand from the guys in MN these are 4.75 X 52 not 4.5. The shape (double triple caps) is a very difficult shape to roll which is why they are so expensive. The packaging is supposed to be top notch as well. We will have to wait and see.

The shape may be difficult but I would like to see where it offers some discernible advantage.

What is the advantage of Tat Anarchy curly head? Double triple caps have never been done before. I for one am very curious.

04-16-2011, 11:44 AM

Oh, you won't catch me singing the advantages of pig tails either. I am also not knocking this cigar, maybe it is worth 10 bucks a piece but that should be based on flavor not gimmick and I feel the same way about all cigars. I am impressed by quality not novelty and I am not really interested in paying extra for packaging or gimmicks.

I know that may put me in the minority as much about cigars is steeped in tradition, image etc - it is just not something I buy into.

By the way the 5 vegas relic is capped at both ends (although I doubt it is a tripple cap) - I don't care for the 5 vegas line so I haven't tried them.

I meant to say the Relic is perfecto shaped, this cigar is reported to be round.

pektel · 04-16-2011, 11:50 AM

I was just looking at the 5 Vegas relic this morning (got the ci catalog yesterday) and thought about buying a box. But only because I thought the box was cool.

Peter you might Call up CI and see if they can find you an
empty 5vegas relic box and save yourself the coin!

pektel · 04-16-2011, 12:25 PM

That ain't a half bad idea! But it was just a fleeting urge. It passed rather quickly.

While I'm not going to the darkside. I will continue to torch those lovely dark & yummy maduros. I am really a huge fan of Viaje and their sticks, I have just finally said enough is enough with all the limited edition, small batch hunting. Too many great sticks out there at a great price to play the "Hunt the LE game".
