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.

2. Halfwheel and Cigar Co-op are my news sources
