fu*king fed up with viaje (nothing more than a rant on my part)

[ned]

ok so now they are just doing limited production stuff... i am so sick of all their shit. i am lucky enough that the cigar shop i frequent, when i can cause it is a 3 hour drive away, doesnt seem to waste their time with any of the viaje bullshit. it makes me happy to see that. they support real brands. viaje steals ideas, limited this limited that...fuck them... i am over the limited edition hunting game. there are enough readily available awesome smokes out there. i will never ever buy any viaje product. i dont care if it is the best smoke ever, never gonna do. i am fed up with all their bullshit. i hope they dont last with this kind of gimmicky shit. 

ok rant over

Dion must have cut Andre off. Where is Andre going to buy his scraps from now? Most likely Pepin.

Welcome to 2010.

I agree completely and I don't buy any more Viajes or Tatuajes as of late 2010.

No surprise there is what like 4 "regular production" cigars and they all are mediocre or suck completely.

The cigar biz will always have a hot label come and go.

Wow, what a joke.  I've had some very good Viajes (Exclusivo CG, Ex Robusto).  And I was very impressed with the Exclusivo 45th.  Thought it was one of the best releases this year.

But the other stuff this year...C4, TNT, Summerfest, S&Bs...  Average at best, with a well above average price tag.

Probably a lot since it was Dion's tobacco at one point in time.
