More than "six" Viajes were rolled. Tower had them back in Jan/Feb of last year before selling out within a matter of days.

Fantastic cigar!

The more and more I smoke Viaje, the more I begin to realize that it is probably my favorite line behind Illusione.

i am extremely surprised that none of the ligas made it on there. at the shop i work at anytime we get a box of number 9's they are gone in hours. it was a shocker to me also. i seriously contemplated over the thought that CA gives amazing ratings to the companies that fund them IE rocky patel,CAO, and many others i find that a little suspicious.

Anytime I see a "Top ___" (10, 25, 100, etc) list I always take it with a grain of salt, I don't put too much stock into it, whether it is cigars, scotch, etc. Buy/smoke what you like! But I can empathize with the OP - here's a suggestion - create your own "Top 25" list just for your shop, or put out CA's list and then next to it put some alternatives that you carry at your shop. :tiphat:

It's really a market ploy. I would love to see an honest listing just once.
