Editor’s Note: It will be a busy week at halfwheel and likely busy up until the trade show. I’m not sure if it’s entirely necessary.

Review: Viaje C-4 (Prerelease)

For those of you that don’t know… In late June of 2010, Viaje released the “TNT”, a 6.25×54 cigar that was made to look like a stick of TNT (obviously). It has been known that the TNT would be rereleased around the same time every year (as are most of Viaje’s various lines), but what [...]
