...sounds like a golf tournament.

Anyone seen a review on these yet?

Kinda interested in the WLPs though the experimental nature does make em hit or miss. Would like to read a review or two before purchasing.

Word has it the blend is similar to Donkey Droppings, but a tad milder. Haven't burned one yet, but I like the full flavor/body of the DD. I'm curious to find out how similar they really are. The last tim i talked to him, Todd mentioned that Viaje had future plans for the DD blend.I picked up the DD's for $5 per stick. The Winter project is smaller and $8 per stick! Glad I have some DD's stashed away!!!

One inch in and loving the stick...great 4.4 VSU and a dominant buttery, creamy flavor and finish. This is not like any Viaje I've ever had. Finally a Viaje worth the coin and that does NOT disappoint. I'd say this is worth a try.

Leather picked up as dominant flave with some chocolate as the smoke went on. I did not get as much of the harshness as in the Halfwheel review. I think this is the best WLP release by far. Reminds me of a cain F Lancero a little.

Starting to burn a little hot at start of the final third, but starting to pick up some pleasant nuances I can't even describe. I would definitely put this higher that the rating on Halfwheel.

Solid medium smoke as well.

Paired with a DFH 120 IPA.

Hmmm, thanks for being voice of reason Chazbo. Rough day at work so guess that had something to do with it...bad work days make any cigar enjoyable.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฎ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฎ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฎ I have never not agreed with their reviews. I read them all the time, and most times their right on. One thing Halfwheel usually says about Viaje is they just need time to age. And I can agree. IMVHO. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฎ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฎ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฎ
