JdN Antano Dark Corojo. I've been smoking a lot of these the last few months. Very solid sticks, strong and rich, and very consistent. For the price, these are an excellent buy!

Agreed on the dry boxing, which is typical for pretty much all the new Viaje stuff. To me that's just wrong. Why can't they correct this? But that aside, I thought the Candy Cane was a worthy smoke. Although the ring gauge is a bit much for me.
I know what you mean, but I don't mind that so much. There's a lot of stuff that you know you'll have to rest or dry box before it reaches its full potential. Just look at Emilio's Draig k. Great smoke, but if its right off the truck it has a shameful burn. Just comes with the territory.
I know what you're saying, it happens. But Viaje is pretty much consistent. It happens more so than not. Smoked the super lance the other day. Started out very nice, lots of flavor. But half way in, I couldn't keep the thing lit. Some manufactures do it here and there. Viaje needs to hold back on their release. When was the last time Pete Johnson released something that wasn't ready? Or Pepin? EPC? LFD? I've smoke just about everything Viaje releases but lately I'm asking myself why?
