The cigar probably notices the Deep V Neck shirts and says F*** this guy.

I think one of the biggest issues with Viaje and BLTC is that prices kept going up because "they're all small batch releases" but they've yet to really hit one out of the park and justify the cost. Zombie was solid and Morphine Lancero was good, but they've yet to produce that stick that is both Unique and extremely good! Caldwell falls into this category as well. Long live the king and king is dead are ok. However, they started into these "Limited" Lost and Found releases and started bumping all their prices and for the most part, they all suck! People love to pay for hype but at some point your product is going to have to live up to that hype. If it doesn't, you're not going to make it.
The other thing is variety. If you really want to be big in this industry you have to have something for everyone. That's why DE and Tat got so big. That's why My Father is still doing well. While I've never had a bad stick from BLTC, everything tastes similar IMO, so unless that particular taste is your favorite, you find other smokes. Same with Viaje. Everything I've had from them has been really heavy on that Charred Wood Flavor, which for me just doesn't do it. At an average of $12+ per stick I just avoid them now.
After all of the hospitality and fun times that I provided these men, it's amazing the way they treat me!
For the record, I store my cigars at 65% and anywhere from 62-68* in beautiful cedar drawers and trays. Ask @Horseshoe , it is simply a curse that I must always work twice as hard as anyone else to enjoy a cigar. But it shows my resolve and determination. And my v-necks show just enough skin to keep female and male alike intrigued. Also ask Brent about that one.

When these babies first came out I couldn't get enough of them!

Espinosa y Ortega Murcielago were the business when I first tried them. They got scarce and I moved on to milder sticks, but they are still amazing.
