Originally released in 2010, Summerfest was one of Viaje’s most consistent releases until last year, when it was dropped from the companies release schedule. In June, Viaje announced it was making a return, but with three major changes: a different blend, a different size and made at a different factory. The first major change was the blend: while the wrapper remains a Nicaraguan Corojo 99, the filler tobaccos have been changed to a combination of tobaccos from Condega, Estelí and Jalapa. In addition, the 6 x 52 toro vitola is unique to the line, and while previous releases were rolled at Raíces Cubanas in Danlí, Honduras, the newest incarnation is being produced at Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. (TABSA) in Estelí, Nicaragua. While production numbers have not been released, the new Summerfest is being sold in boxes of 30 with each cigar carrying an MSRP of $9.47. The Summerfest line now includes seven different vitolas.
