So I tried the new c4 and mystery skull and bones...not very impress and am wondering if since pdr took over blending has gone downhill?

    I have always tried to like Viaje cigars but for some reason I am not getting it. Maybe me. However I do like some PDR's. Go figure.

    Oh man, it took me a while to realize that I hadn't really smoked a Viaje I didn't really like. So I would consider myself a Viaje ho, but it took me a while to even realize it. I hope they don't ruin them :-/

    Will have to wait and see, could easily go either way and I try not to judge a book by its cover so will see.

    I'm putting no, but only because I don't care for most Viaje's. But the ones I like, I really like.

    Good Point ....I forgot about the Satori's. Damn good smoke. I think you costed me 2 bills on that purchase lol.  I still have many Viajes I have yet to try, so I guess the verdict is out but the ones I have smoked have not been what I was expecting excluding Satori's.

    Try the Dark Meat and the Jalapenos if you liked the Satori.

    Fullmoon and friends and family are excellent. I like most viaje though

    I hope things dont change.  I am not a fan of PDR but I do like quite a few Viajes.

    I enjoy viaje and hope that is doesn't change. What most people like is the limited run, good quality that they produce. If that goes, so will viaje.

    I'm with Wayne, very few I love, so I'm not crazy about them now.  Also remember that gurkha is not one factory I believe they contract with several different manufactures.

    Maybe the Viajes will rub off and Gurkhas will become good.

    +1 to this. 

    When did it change over?

    Did not know this, but not a big Viaje fan.  I do love the original Leaded and they just re-released it.  May have to try one and compare

    Do believe this year...I thought it was just the tnt's but was told it was everything. I think it was when they did the collaboration with pdr
