Viaje Platino

Did I miss something? Are they not producing these anymore, or has it been replaced with something else?

I went on Silo's site today to look for some, and they only have belicosos left, and when I called, they only had a few lanceros. Did a shopping serch on google, and I don't get too much. Atlantic's there with a few limited vitolas...

They're still showing up on the Viaje website:

Maybe Silo stopped carrying the line?

I went there, yeah.

Maybe supply problems. I seem to recall Silo talking about when they would receive shipments from Viaje last time. Maybe they can't keep up or something, or maybe they're not moving them fast enough to justify an order.

Weird.

I use New Havana Cigars quite a bit.
They have 3 or 4 size available.

On a follow up to this subject, I was talking to one of the guys at Silo today, and he noted that the pattern is Viaje puts out "limited" lines pretty frequently these days, kinda like Tatuaje, and production of those lines seems to be taking a toll on their regular lines (Plantino, Oro, Fifty / Fifty.)

They go a couple months with the regular stock. Supplies start to dry up, and then they get restocked heavily all at once.

It appears they are at the end of one of these cycles now.
