I still have yet to try anything from viaje.. I've been hearing a lot of mixed reviews all over the net.
Well it had to happen, Viaje
- Thread starter Zen Cigar Man
- Start date
Curious as to what forums/sites you've been hanging out at that give poor reviews of the brand or certain lines within the brand anyway (when you say mixed, I assume to be some good, some poor)....Some are better than others for certain, but there are no duds in this line that I can speak of, and I've tried damn near every one. Many are absolutely amazing sticks to boot (i.e. Exclusivo, 50/50, Holiday, Skull & Bones, Platino (for me anyway), and hopefully these here Summerfest Robuso!!
...Great to hear on my end as well Larry!!

Overall Viaje makes great cigars. Fun small batch stuff, too.
I can't say that I've smoked a bad one. The 50/50 I smoked left me with a case of the brown lips... :eyequiver
I hope these turn out alright, as I ordered a few from my local shop. Is there any view on which may be better as of now, the torp, or rob? I know its still real early and they only just got released, just wondering if there was any preference
I'm still waiting for more people that have picked up the TNT's and Robusto's to chime in a bit more. I'm supposed to be picking up both of these this week. Are the TNT's anything like the Daisy Cutters?
Thanks,
Walt

I smoked a summerfest today. I think the folks who liked the Holiday Blend will like it. It's spicy - wish it had a touch more sweetness. Also, it does have a Pepin tartness - a sour apple finish. If you're not into that at all, this might not be your stick. I liked it, though. (I did cut the shaggy foot off).
Jamie, did you smoke your summerfest at the shop when they first came in?

So did you get your package today?
There are people out there that don't like them. I have yet to have a Viaje that I have liked. They just have a weird flavor to them that doesn't suit my taste profile.Curious as to what forums/sites you've been hanging out at that give poor reviews of the brand or certain lines within the brand anyway (when you say mixed, I assume to be some good, some poor)....Some are better than others for certain, but there are no duds in this line that I can speak of, and I've tried damn near every one.

Nope
for whatever reason it got held up at some USPS hub like 3 hours from my house for two days! unbelievable! I tracked it today and it arrived in my hometown today around 4. I will get it tomorrow. Can't wait!Oh, I absolutely believe that........there isn't one brand of cigar that isn't going to have people out there that don't care for it. Just too much personal preference, varying palates and what-not...
I was honestly curious more than anything, because generally speaking everything i've read...reviews etc.....is positive as opposed to negative. Don't recall reading a negative one anywhere to be honest, minus the one that Zen posted here about the shaggy Torp.

Just recieved in the mail and Smoked my first one. This is a Fantastic Smoke!! I did cut the shag off but I gotta tell you it was a real pleasure to smoke. I would suggest you find a few of these babies and fast. Very limited run and with age these are gonna be a real treat for sure!!:applause:
cigaroutcast is my main forum... most BOTLS on there were saying they were decent but not worth the $$Curious as to what forums/sites you've been hanging out at that give poor reviews of the brand or certain lines within the brand anyway (when you say mixed, I assume to be some good, some poor)....Some are better than others for certain, but there are no duds in this line that I can speak of, and I've tried damn near every one.
