    Halloween Sticks

    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.

    I like Cigar-Coop for my cigar news. My local B&M tends to get them in stock well after Halloween. I have learned to buy this year what I want for Halloween next year.

    With some diligent Google you may be able to find a few of previous years. I got last years chuck and tiff late but saw a few places that had some older versions out there. Tiffs were pretty easy to find chucks were near impossible.

    I expect with covid there will be a delay this year.

    Yeah, I still see the 2019 Monsters around, even at the B&M. I'm hoping to get some good gouge on the 2020 seasonal releases.

    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

    3. @jhedrick83 is into transvestite strippers
