While I'm a huge fan of Viaje cigars (just not the Exclusivo line)...but enough is enough. $ 10 a stick for these miniature sticks??? Come on man!!

Ummmmm mac... 4.5 x 52 isn't exactly miniature to me... that's almost your
ideal size isn't it?

On another note, I wish I could go to the even to meet Arsenio Ramos... that
guy is the Man!

Not even close. $ 10.50 for a stick that is ALMOST a robusto???

I'm with Mac, It's a perfecto you're losing 1/2 inch on the SoB as soon as you clip the end. It's a 4 1/4 x 52 as far as I'm concerned. Not to mention the first 1/4 - 1/2 of that you smoke is nearly nothing.

Definitely disappointing as far as Price-cigar ratio.

I see your point, but what's the difference between paying $10 for a smaller vitola, and paying $20 for the new SI 15 Padron 6 x 60? I will pay 10 bucks all day for a quality smoke regardless of size!

Because no one would pay the $20 for a 60x6. That and Padrons are way overpriced.

Tatuaje = MASS LE releases
Viaje LATELY = tons of smaller huge RG cigars for too high or a price.

Either way you lose they win. Gotta get off that NC boat and over to the darkside!

I live in Japan, 15 miles from Tokyo.....I can jump on the train to the local Le Connaisseur and smoke Davidoffs and Behike's any time I want I love the darkside, but I think the quality of NC sticks has taken tremendous strides in recent years! What's the impetus behind absolutes, and picking one type of cigar to enjoy exclusively? Variety is the spice of life, and in regards to fine cigars, this holds true IMO.

Or, whatever happened to "smoke what you like?" If you don't want these, you don't have to buy them. If you have any actual content to contribute to this discussion, I'd like to read it. Otherwise, several posts of complaints is rather boorish IMO.

agreed.

And keeping ever so loosely with the theme of this thread (or perhaps it relates in more than just name) I give you a video that's stuck "in [my] head." You can skip the ads in like 4 seconds.
