Viaje Summerfest Barber Pole CE

Description

The Viaje Summerfest Barber Pole CE marks a genuine first for one of Viaje’s longest-running seasonal series — the first-ever barber pole wrapper in Summerfest’s 15-year history.

Construction & Origin

This 6¼ x 54 torpedo is finished with a striking dual wrapper, alternating strips of Mexican San Andrés Maduro and Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed leaf, twisted together over Nicaraguan binder and filler. Every cigar features a signature shaggy foot — the binder left exposed at the tip — and is hand-rolled at the respected Aganorsa Leaf factory in Nicaragua, then rested six months before release. Summerfest 2025 released as a genuine Collector’s Edition alongside two sister blends, Dark Habano and Maduro, with production capped at just 300 boxes of 25 for this specific version.

Flavor Profile

Medium in body — notably milder than its Habano and Maduro siblings, which run medium-to-full — this cigar delivers cream, cocoa, cedar, and warm spice, with sweetness and pepper trading off as the dual wrapper burns unevenly by design. The result is a genuinely evolving smoke, since the two different leaf types don’t burn in perfect unison.

Why It’s Sought After

Summerfest has been a Viaje seasonal tradition for 15 years, but a barber pole version had never been part of the lineup until this release — a real first, not just a marketing angle. With production capped at 300 boxes and no distinguishing marks on the box itself (only a small window to peek at the wrapper), this is a genuine collector’s item built for Viaje’s small-batch, discovery-driven fans.
