Viaje Holiday Blend, Candy Cane Return for 2020 (Update)

Viaje’s winter holiday-themed cigars are set to return later this month.

The company has posted pictures of an upcoming release of both Holiday Blend and Candy Cane, two cigars that typically ship in December to coincide with the Christmas holiday.

Not much is known about this year’s release. The bundle of Candy Cane, which is usually a barberpole version of Holiday Blend, indicates that it will be a 6 x 54 release. The company declined to provide any further details to halfwheel, but did indicate on Instagram that the release would ship on Dec. 14.

Invoices sent to retailers list the Holiday Blend 2020 as a 5 x 54 size with a “soft press,” while the Candy Cane is a 6 x 54 box-pressed size. The regular Holiday Blend 2020 is priced at $10.67 per cigar or $320 per box of 30. Candy Cane 2020 is listed at $11.50 per cigar or $230 per box of 20 cigars.

Holiday Blend has been released in some form or fashion every year since 2009.
