I'm intrigued......

Triple capped at both ends :-)

Smaller size too 4 3/4 x 52.....at $10.50 a piece....eh If I could score 2-3 of these to try I'd be down for that but that's about it. Had no interest in the MOAB or WMDs. Although after you cut the cap you're looking at a 4 1/4 perfecto for $10.50....brutal.

I'm actually quite concerned now with these past 5-6 Viaje releases coming out so soon. They might be going the way of Tatuaje. This might help me continue to swear off NC's. :-)

I feel the urge to get some of these, but I think I'm going to have to skip out this time. I got a fiver of wmd and moab but looking back I think I would have skipped them and gone with something in a vitola I actually like. Not trying to hate on Viaje, but for the money, I'd like to see a little more cigar.
[Reply]

Kinda how I felt Rob, I do like the perfecto and the DES was a very decent stick. Kinda sucking though the price points are staying the same and the vitolas are getting smaller and smaller. Larger RG's too :-)

I think a lot of the cost has to do with the shape. Difficult shapes are usually more expensive. Like you said, this cigar has triple caps on both ends.
[Reply]

Yeah, I just wish it was the same size as the DES (5 3/4 x 52). That's the thing that has me intrigued (the caps at both ends). I could see buying 2 of them and smoking them at different ends. Just for kicks, sh!ts and giggles see if there is any noticeable difference.

If I could get one I'd try it...but I probably won't bust my tail to get these.

They sound interesting though!

Reminds me of this image that I saw posted on Facebook with Viaje tagged but it was quickly untagged by what I'm guessing was Andre and kind of how I am starting to feel about Viaje. I copied and pasted the text in the photo description in the image.

:-) :-) :-) I must admit that is funny. I never liked the S&B, any of them.

I love Viaje Cigars but getting tired of having to line up like it is Black Friday to beat everyone to them.

I guess they wouldn't be considered LE sticks if you could just order them off of every cigar site, but you make a very good point. I personally don't have a problem with the "boutique" company's offering LE cigars, what gets me is the shadow games and smoke and mirrors behind it all. And in regards to paying 10 bucks for a smaller cigar, you could always throw down $20 a stick for the glorified 64th anny Smoke Inn Padron SI-15, 6 x 60 and choke yourself to death :-)

Agreed, this 2000 cigars is completely bullsh!t. I passed on the WLP, WLP Candela, WMB, MOAB, Exclusivo short and Tower 45th. This one I'll mostly likely make a half a$$ attempt to score a couple. If not meh it'll be 7th Viaje I've passed on already this year.

I'm surprised they are only $20 a piece. As far as the LE thing, Viaje seems to be jumping on the Tatuaje "put out as many as you can trying to make a fast buck" bandwagon. I guess Illusione is the only one that still has some hope?

I'm really not complaining though, it seems most NC cigars are going this route and it just makes it much easier for me to not buy any. I can walk into cigar shops and not drop $50-$100. Browse the internet and see many cigar ads and not spend a dime. Thanks guys :-)

Now I'm off to go punch an ever so tasty $4 SCdlH El Principe, or maybe I'll spring for the HUCM for $4.50. Boli RC's for $6.00 a pop, YES PLEASE! Ah life is good.

He needs to take marketing tips from Pete Johnson. genius.
[Reply]

I am not a Tatuaje whore, but I do love me some Viajes. And these are going to be at an event in MN? I'm so there...
[Reply]

I hear this. I'm rarely tempted by NC's anymore. But if I want a strong stick, I reach for a viaje.
[Reply]

Seriously... whatever happened to normal size smokes. They all seem to be Nub size or some kind of 6x60 baseball bat. I don't mind the marketing concepts to a point but Tatuaje and Viaje seem out of control. I think some of their concepts are pretty cool but releasing in quantities of 2000 and I have to spend $200+ before I can even try one = no thanks.

I have said for a long time that NC had caught up to CC taste wise but lately it seems like NC are more focused on marketing than the actual cigar. As Bill pointed out I can smoke a PSD No. 4 for $8-$9. It makes it harder to justify setting the alarm on my phone so I can be one of the 30 people that get a box of cigars they've never tried.


Bottom line is brands like Viaje and Tatuaje are driving me off before I ever really got a chance to make up my mind about them. I know some of you are into these and I hope you continue to enjoy them but more and more they seem like something I'm not even going to bother with.
[Reply]

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.
