Local B&M just got rid of Viaje...NOOOOOO

My local B&M just got rid of all their Viaje supply and will not be carrying it anymore. I told them I would have bought it all. Not sure where they ditched it or what but they said they had to make room for new stuff coming in.

I've heard this from a few places. Viaje must not be selling well at B&Ms

Damn fools! Wish I could find a stash of someone getting rid of them all. Funny thing is I call all over the country and have sources that sell out the day of or the next day after a release. Think it is just regional. I have a local that has them but the other customers seem to be into other things and mostly pipes. They do sell and some sell out but I can go in and still get older releases. Honestly I think it is because the owner told me he stashes extra stock in the back and slowly releases it into the humidor over time so guys don't buy it all at once like Tat Monsters and other high end stuff.

Da^n, I guess that's one I can forget about trying. Just as well I guess....sooo many and sooo little time.

It's a shame that only stogie geeks like is know about viaje and other boutique brands! Some stuff just doesn't move well since a ton of people just grab a well known name branded stick. I've seen stores that had nothing but great boutique stuff fill shelves with montecristo and perdomo stuff...I asked why the change?! Answer was simple...people have no idea and it's a tough sell. One place I go has all the original Roma crafts at 25% off since they didn't move well at all. Ignorance is what keeps companies like altidis in business
