Meh, lets have a bit of a sense of humor.

The atomic bombs were a tactical decision that in all likelihood saved hundreds of thousands of lives. War is terrible, using the atomic bombs was a less terrible way to end the war than an invasion of japan. The vast majority of those innocents would have become combatants if they were defending their homeland.

This is a cigar, who cares what it is called?

Original post was not intended to stir up politics. It was posted in the cigar forum and not general discussion. I get both side of this argument, but ultimately more intested in the cigar itself.

Your 100% right Brooks.
This is nothing more than a marketing ploy which as of late as proved immensely successful for Viaje. If people are offended then don't buy them.
I have only had one of the original release and I am looking forward to these. I would like to know the ring gauge and to know if it will help or hurt the flavor compared to the original release. Any thoughts?

Yes, looking forward to vitola info. Hopefully no more petit piramides.

On the topic of names, maybe they should have a Skull & Bones Einstein... Petit robusto with a shag foot?

Really hoping for something worth the money here. I enjoyed the last release a lot but $10 a piece for those sizes was almost insulting.

I agree... overpriced for the size.... this is coming from someone that just got a box of dirty rats. I'll still buy some, if I run across any.

I wonder if they look like the flying pig, since that is the basic shape of the actual bomb.
would be cool visually but more of a novelty... as long as one is still a petit robusto I'd be ok with the other being in a FP shape... or even better, a butifarra shape, so its not the super massive ring guage combined with a perfecto end.

I really liked the OR skull and bones and am hoping the last release will get a little better with some time. I will be looking for these. Hope I have better luck finding a box this time.

As far as Im concerned they have. Ive had 3 so far and the last one was by far the best. Very good I thought and they will only get better.

Please Please let these be more than 5 inches. Great flavor but would love to see them in a reasonable size.
From the pictures I seen they look longer.
Yep looks like a "normal" sized cigar this time thankfully. Plus that was the picture of the Little Boy so the Fat Man should be bigger. Let just hope he doesnt drop an outrageous price tag on them.
