Thanks Brandon, looks like I'll be calling Fed tomorrow. And if people think these are along the lines of a DR I definitely want to give it a go. I love the Rats.

For some reason a lot of the retailers that carry the Undercrown are not yet carrying the viva. Not sure why. Holt's, according to the gentleman I spoke with, doesn't even have plans to carry it (although they carry the other sizes).
Definitely my favorite in the Undercrown series. I really like the toro as well, although it takes about 1/3 of the cigar to really get going, IMO.

hate to say it, we are the vocal minority. big RG is what the masses want, and what amounts to a CG looks tiny compared to a 6x60. not that i think it is right, but it makes sense.
be vocal. ask.
EDIT: this was for your general B&M. small places can (and should) get UC's to their hearts' content. HOLTS, however, does surprise me, and i am with you on that one.

I definitely made it a point to ask for it, and I would agree with your assessment, but it's god damn Holt's, you know? It's not some rinky dink corner shop that orders a couple boxes in a couple sizes of a new release, when they make an order they'll generally order 30 boxes of every size in the new line. It's just surprising they don't carry it. I don't know, I just expected more, I guess.
Their loss, for sure. The UC viva is a damn good smoke.
You should add them to your website so it's more readily apparent that you have them. :smile:Well we have plenty in stock at Cigar King boys! So let Holt's not carry them and we will keep them in stock a plenty.
I guarantee if you ask a retailer for the Corona Viva they will eventually add it to their stock. Retailers are always looking to identify cigars that consumers desire, so when they get asked multiple times for a stick they don't carry due to their own choice they are often quick to add it.
The issue is they know that most of their likely sales derive from robusto and toro formats, so they are unlikely to add a 5 5/8 x 46 Corona Viva unless they either love it themselves or have been asked for it.

Thanks for the heads up! Could have sworn they were already on the site! They weren't before but they will be in the next few minutes. Thanks again for spotting that!You should add them to your website so it's more readily apparent that you have them. :smile:Well we have plenty in stock at Cigar King boys!

To date, the Undercrowns I've smoked have just left me deciding to keep smoking the No.9 and T52 lines, however I just smoked the Viva for the first time yesterday and I've gotta say I'm a huge fan. Maybe it's the size difference in the other UC's I've smoked or the blend tweek you guys did, but I'm 100% on board with this stick.
