Halloween Sticks

[DogRockets]

I've been smoking for about 2 years, and just last year discovered the Monsters. Had the Chuck and loved it. Had a couple Skinny Monsters that were also great. Maybe six months ago I learned they were a reocurring Halloween-time limited edition, and a very popular one. Just got a couple Viajes, my first from the manufacturer, did some research and found they have some cool looking Halloween-themed sticks. Those look just as popular, and are all sold out.

If you bums have seen, the Halloween beers are stocked up everywhere already, so I'm thinkin' the sticks will be out soon, and need to get the wallet and budget ready.

My questions are:

1. Is that time approaching where they'll be announced and delivered? I've read Tatuaje usually announces the Monster in September, but couldn't find much about Viaje.

2. What source do you guys get the info from - B&M, online, emails, clubs (S&S), or what? Local B&Ms don't carry Viaje, but plenty of Tatuaje. I'm looking into subscribing to Halfwheel, because it looks like they give good announcements and reviews.

3. Any other info would be great, and very much appreciated.

1. For Tats, the Monsters are normally unveiled at the IPCPR trade show (hope I got my initials right) which was canceled this year. I haven't seen any concrete plans for an October release yet for this year. Pete did sneak a shorter Krueger this year (called MBS I believe) but I wasn't able to get any. But yes, I love my Monsters. Viaje releases are all very small and seem to have a story with them. Their Zombie line and Moon cigars (I don't know if they have a name) are their fall cigars. They also release a Thanksgiving cigar - Stuffed Turkey and Hatchet Bill. Again, there is a story line with them. Halfwheel normally gives a nice write-up on them each year with the history and how Viaje plays with them.

I think I read the Monster Line was planned to end at 13 releases and last year brought out 12 and 13?

With the money involved, I'd be shocked if something doesn't continue come out (like the mbr) even if they take a year off.

When Bride was released two years ago it was #13 which closed the loop on new Monsters. Chuck and Tiff had been released with the Pudgy and Skinny series but never full size and were part of the Monster family. So they got their official #11 and #12 release last year. 3 years ago Michael was #10. So Pete had always planned it. I thought he held onto Chuck/Tiff and released full size out of order due to FDA. Never heard that officially, just my guess.

As for the future of the Monster series, I doubt it is going away. I could see smaller releases of different sizes like the MBS this year. Or I could see samplers come out of full size ones in the future. A box with 1 full size of each of the 13 would be pretty cool. Stuff like that.

I was thinking the same thing and/or redo the previous sampler lines with the full 13
