Good morning fellow geeks! I have a source that I can buy 2 boxes of Viaje Zombie Black boxes from. Anyone up for a box split? Either $110 for half a box, or $55 for 5 sticks. I'll need to adjust the cost for shipping. Let me know via PM if anyone is interested!
Very tempting. Must hold out.... :-(
Karl, I'd be down for trying 5. I don't have much of a Viaje collection. ;-)
Sounds good Bruce! Any other takers? I have 10 sticks spoken for so far.
I'd go for a 5er as well.

I'd like to do a fiver as well.
I've never had one of these but see one in our DB called just Zombie. Is the Zombie Black different?

"Neither of the blends have been disclosed at this point, though it has been announced that the cigar is a 5 x 52 Robusto with a tapered, unfinished foot, a new size for the project as it had previously been a 4 5/8 x 52 Robusto. Also confirmed is that the black box blend is the same as previous years, while the cigar in the natural colored box is a second blend that was selected for the Zombie project but hasn't been used up to this point. All that is known about the original blend is that is a Nicaraguan puro."

Alright SenorPablo and kxthor911, you guys are down! So that is one complete box. I can still get one more to offer up!
PM sent.
I'm in if you have any left.
Ok guys, I've got 5 left from box number 2. Any takers?

Well guys and gals, the box split is now closed! Thanks to everyone, and I'll be sending you all PMs with more information tomorrow. Just to let you all know, I should have them in hand by the end of next week. Fingers crossed!
And thanks to Bruce for the helping hand!
^^^CORRECTION^^^ I should have them in hand by the end of the week of the 20th. They are only allowed to ship them on Wednesday, May 15.
Thanks, Karl.
F...
If anyone backs out let me know, I'd definitely be interested in 5.
That was quick, or I've missed a few days.
If anyone else wants to try, the Pipe and Pint in Greensboro, NC is one of the 4 authorized dealers of the Zombies. Call and ask Pete if he has any more, he might have a couple left. They are also hosting the official release party on Saturday, May 18th with Andre Farkas in attendance. Tell him I sent you ;-)
I see it is closed but taking a chance anyways, if any one backs out, I am in for 5.
Somebody sell me 2 :D
Ok guys, the boxes are officially on their way to Canada! I should have them by the end of the week if all goes well. Thanks to everyone for participating!
Oh, and I have left feedback for everyone. If you are satisfied with your cigars once received, please leave me some feedback too!
Well I've got good news and bad news about the split... Good news is they all arrived home safe and sound! Bad news is I had to go out of town on a last minute business trip for the week. They will be in the mail to each of you promptly on Monday morning. Sorry about the poor timing everyone!
Thanks for the update, Karl.
No problem sir, thanks for the update. I'm really not in any hurry, can not speak for any other geeks here though. Have a great trip.
What did I miss???
Just got in from my trip, and the Zombies are ready for deployment! I'll be sending them out first thing in the morning. Please let me know when you all get them, and if you feel so inclined, leave me some feedback!
Oh, good, they got there! I've been concerned for almost 2 weeks since I sent them across the border and didn't hear from you that they arrived.
Sorry Bruce! I posted at the beginning of last week that they were received. Thanks for your help! They look very nice!
Excellent - looking forward to these. Thanks Karl!
-Paul
Got mine in the mail today, thanks Karl.
Just got mine as well. Man these look very nice! Thanks Karl!
-Paul
Glad to hear the Zombie invasion is going well! I had one last week and man was it good! Enjoy!!
Got mine Friday and smoked one Saturday - really enjoyed it!
Just got mine. Thanks Karl.
For those of you that have smoked one so far, did you have burn issues? Shouldn't we give them atleast a month or two to adjust? Thanks.

Yes - burned faster on one side for about the stick. The others are resting now - a couple of weeks should be more than adequate in a well controlled humidor.
EDIT: Half of the stick...
Thanks brad. I thought that might happen. I only got five so I thought I'd wait a month or two before I have one.
Even the one that I smoked ROTT canoed significantly. I'm going to let the rest sit for a couple weeks.

It was worth the extra work for me - really enjoyed it, Karl. Thanks again for coordinating! :-)
Yeah I enjoyed mine too! They're going to be really good in a few months!
Yes sir. Thanks. Have y'all tried the honey and hand grenades?

Yep - box split with mpurtle01 and nirab a couple of months ago - good smoke too!
