Skull & Bones '?'

[betadawg]

Called my favorite vendor today to pick up a few sticks and he tells me he got some Skull and Bones "?" in today. Same cigar but two different boxes. One like the last box with the ? on it and the other box is jet black. Black box is more expensive. Anyone know the story?

Thecigarfeed had an article recently about them but there's not much info.

Just got back from B&M here. Still no signs.

They shipped on Monday. My B&M should have them tomorrow.

^^^ and the 50 50 Red's and Black's went out as well.

Dan of NHC's is posting for sale soon samplers and flights of the 50 50's but not the ?'s.

Meh, I used to hunt for the S&Bs but I think Andre has been going to the well with these too often. Not to mention that a good number of his releases as of late have been a little green so I just don't seek them out much anymore Just my .02

I'm loving the fat man and little boy, wish i could pick some of these up, but after the wolfman, i'm done for a while

I do have to agree with the latest releases being a bit green. I've been picking and choosing carefully. Having a local B&M where you can pop in and try one helps.

The DC's were the best of the bunch...imho.

The story is that one of the cigars is box pressed and one isn't. I am pretty sure the one in the all black box is box pressed.

Any word on sizing.... Hoping for 50rg max....

Steve is onto something. Viaje hasn't released any info as they've tried to make it a surprise for retailers. It's a bit annoying and a bit commendable for keeping with the whole ??? theme; but at the end of the day, I care about the cigars, not the gimmicks. Skull and Bones Daisy Cutter was great, the rest haven't been on the same level, although still some of the better Viajes for me.

What were the prices? I want to know because I plan to pick up a few when my local shop gets them but don't want to pay way over MSRP.

Sure in the $9-$10 range... Seems like those and HB are all right there..... Only had one Viaje(b/r s&b...dont remember the name) and it was meh. Still may pull the trigger on this black box, depending on size/price... Feeler is out...

 

[betadawg]

Vendor quoted $10.40 ea/$260 box for the box pressed and $9.60 ea/$240 box for the other.

Just not a fan of a manufacturer naming there cigars with nuke bombs ,,,,, just me .

 

[ciano]

Cant wait to try some of these

 

[txaggie9307]

I picked up a single of the black box pressed version today with some Wolfman singles. Boy do these all smell good....

 

[Fitze55]

Just got an email from GoodFellasCiagrs.....

A new batch of Viaje Samurais are in the making and will be coming to BURN!

Also, can anyone point me in the right direction to source any Viaje ? box-pressed???

Many Thanks

Agree with all points.
