Smoked the Shank today. Interesting combo of sweetness & cayenne pepper. I enjoyed it completely but I do think it's a bit young. It did seem a little underfilled and burned fast but I have only smoked one. I might take down one of the Shiv's (51/4 x 52) tonight.

Smoked a shiv (I think thats what it was called, the robusto sized one). It was in my top 3 worst cigars I've ever smoked. Bitter from the start and once it opened up, tasted like ash with a little background of pepper. I know a lot of Viaje's need time but these (I smoked 2 just to make sure the one wasn't a bad stick) were just bad and not green. I'm going to try a couple from a different shop in case this was just a bad box but not looking good. Only thing good about these was the band. G1

Ouch!

Overall worth a try. Not a grand slam but not a bad smoke. A bit one dimensional but if you like this profile, try one.

Interesting. Mine will be in next week along with the 5th anniversary.

I'll probably not light one up for awhile, but looking forward to them nonetheless.

Looking for collectors series now.

I agree it was better than the 10 but that shouldn't of been hard to do. I'll have to smoke another 11 and see how they're coming along.
