Artesano Del Tobacco is proud to announce that the Viva La Vida Connecticut Churchill began shipping on July 2nd to all retailers who placed pre-orders during the 2026 PCA Trade Show.
Following the success of the Viva La Vida Connecticut line, Artesano Del Tobacco is expanding the collection with a new 7 x 54 Churchill vitola. The addition of this size is especially meaningful, as it was developed in direct response to recommendations from the company’s valued retail partners and consumers.“Our clients have always played an important role in helping shape our brands,” said Billy Fakih, Gus Fakih, and Ivan of Artesano Del Tobacco.
“We can’t wait for everyone to experience this new Churchill. It took a little longer to bring it to market because we wanted to give the tobacco all the time it needed to develop the flavor profile we envisioned. Working alongside our good friend AJ Fernandez in Estelí, Nicaragua, we created a Churchill that is exceptionally creamy, smooth, naturally sweet, and beautifully balanced. This blend performs incredibly well in this vitola, and we are extremely grateful to everyone who shared their feedback and encouraged us to add this size to the line.”
Crafted at AJ Fernandez Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Viva La Vida Connecticut Churchill features the same blend found throughout the Viva La Vida Connecticut portfolio. It is made with premium Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos wrapped in an aged Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper.
