I know Viaje has some upcoming releases for the summer so I hate to do this to you guys, but these are really REALLY good. This WLP is easily the best thus far. Im not great at reviews so Ill spare you. All Ill say is I should have bought the whole bundle.

Great...
This is one of the LE Viajes Im going to have to hold off on, and now I hear people saying how good they are..... owell.

I think I will still hold off on these and wait for the next LE to come out.

I think Viaje is spanish for Limited.

I smoked one today ROTT of the truck, and thought it was good, but not bundle-worthy. I'm not a huge fan of the regular 50/50, though, to be fair. I'd give it a 90. Good, but not fantastic.

The others are yearly releases, this one is not. That plus its a 50/50 which generally people say are excellent and I was planning on hitting these hard. I have a 5ver on the way from NHC and can get more from my B&M if I want.

The difference will be how much better are they then the regular 50/50 reds?

Im sure reguardless Ill get at least a couple more from my B&M as Im always looking for an excuse to make a run down there.

Don Yeyo in Dearborn, they are the only full authorized Viaje Dealer in the state as far as I know and get all the the LE stuff, Kinda like my own little honey hole lol.
Okay I've talked to them before, but they didn't seem to know much about viaje. Good to know. Any chance they have any VPR or VOR from last year haha?

Heading 45 miles to a B&M today to pick some up. Is it a medium body smoke? I have not had the 50/50 red only black (LOVE THE BLACK). Not sure if I pull he trigger on a bundle or 5er.

I found it to be quite full-bodied and not ready yet to be smoked. Some nice dark chocolate notes and thick leather, but otherwise quite muddled. It needs around 6 months or so, methinks.

Sounds like I pick up two 5ers and let them rest. Thanks for the update.
I always buy a box/bundle of a LE first & ask questions later. The LE sticks are very easy to sell if you don't like them, but much harder to acquire more of if you love them. Better to be safe and buy a bunch, I always say...

Thanks Farani, That's what I needed to pull the trigger on a bundle. The shop got them yesterday but would not put them out because he didn't know how to price them.

Depends on who you get, some know more then others and they dont always have all the info. For example when I called about the 50/50s they had just been called about them that day thay there were coming. Before that they had no idea they were ven getting anything.

Unfourtanatly no they dont have any VPRS or VORs or else I would have bought them lol. They do have a few other goodies still though.

Just picked up 10 WLP 50/50's. Smoked one in the shop. Started harsh and then mellowed out. Going to let them get some age before having another. Better news is the VOR's are being shipped next week and I'm on top of the list for a box.
