At the 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, Artesano Del Tobacco will launch Viva La Vida 5 Years Aniversario. This is an extension of Artesano Del Tobacco’s current Viva La Vida brand, which was the company’s first brand. The company started informing retailers over this past weekend on this release.
Artesano Del Tobacco was founded by Billy and Gus Fakih, the former owners of Cigar Inn. Viva La Vida was the company’s first line when it launched back in 2019 and featured a Habano Oscuro wrapper. The Viva La Vida 5 Years Aniversario incorporates a Connecticut Habano Maduro wrapper over all-Nicaraguan tobaccos. The 5 Years Anniversario comes in two special sizes. The first is the Jester Flat Belicoso. This is a 56 x 5 1/2 offering that is tapered with a flat head that has more surface area than a traditional 109 cap. The second size is the Club 500 Sabroso which is a 56 x 5 1/4 perfecto. As with all Artesano Del Tobacco cigars, the 5 Years Aniversario is produced by AJ Fernandez in Estelí, Nicaragua
Packaged in 10-count boxes, the Jester Flat is priced at $19.00 per cigar while the Club 500 Sabroso is priced at $18.00.
The 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show opens March 23 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
