Ended up buying a wheel of these several weeks ago, based on all the "excitement here". Smoked the second one last night and just could not get into it. Smoked the first on Easter after an Esplendido and got nothing out of it then either (figured it was because I smoked it right after the Cohiba).

These things look good, smell good, burn slow as all hell but just don't have any flavor. Hopping that some age will turn things around.

Any ideas on how long they should be put down for?

Thanks

I smoked one over the weekend (3 left now) that had been in my humi for about 3-4 weeks and really enjoyed it. Great flavors, especially on the retrohale.

I'm very medium on them as well, but most people seem to love them. Weird cause I usually love Viaje. Oh well, no big loss. I'll let them rest as well.

Received one as a gift from tonyt722. Heard they where unbanded Viaje's. Also heard lots of good things about them but any further detail regarding wrapper and blend for my journal would be appreciated. Google doesn't offer much when searching for "Donkey Dropping, Viaje".

Thanks.

I smoked a MOAB a few hours after the Dropping and noticed several similarities between the two. Think the only difference may be some of the filler and how much better the Dropping burned.

Thanks for the keywords, but still curious...

from Their site:

Tropical Over-Run's of a really famous, sought-after smoke.

The Donkey Dropping is in the middle of these awesome Tropical Cigars:

• Viaje with silver banded foot (summer???),

• Skull & Crossbones,

• Donkey Dropping,

• red label gold crown with 2nd word starting with FAZ??,

• Illusione '88'

The flavor profile is bright glove leather and cinnamon.

And I don't have a clue as to what "bright glove leather" is on the palate.

So now I'm really curious as I've been considering a bundle of some "custom-rolled" I've been hearing about lately too. 🤔

^^^ I agree. The flavor profiles are very similar, with the S&B being a touch stronger (though not quite the face melter I was expecting based on their hype; I think the JdN Antano 1970 seems quite a bit stronger than the S&B, but I digress) and the donkey dropping allowing a touch more complexity to come through. The MOAB I smoked had to be relit several times despite living at 68% for a few weeks before ashing it. Smoking them back-to-back, the donkey dropping was the better cigar IMO.

cacman- I would also like more info on the blend and haven't found much. The flavor profile has me convinced it's a Viaje but I haven't smoked enough of their different lines to ascertain the pedigree of the donkey from which they were dropped. However, if one were to speculate that they are seconds of one of their core lines, they are likely to be Corojo wrapped Nicaraguan puros.

I have not smoked a S&B but I would have to say the JDN 1970, and T110 are the strongest sticks I have smoked.
