Ferio Tego introduced the Summa line at the 2023 PCA trade show in Las Vegas. It follows the initial limited offerings of Ferio Tego: Elegancia and Generoso. The Summa is the first core line for Ferio Tego.
“The word summa means a ‘comprehensive work’, a ‘summary or a synthesis of the body of work’ thus far. Ferio Tego Summa is a blend that embodies the diversity and complexity of the Ferio Tego Portfolio,” explained Ferio Tego co-owner, Michael Herklots in a press release. “The Summa blend highlights the incredible trifecta of body, flavor and intensity… and maximizes those levels with wonderful balance.”
Ferio Tego describes the cigar in their press release:
The Ferio Tego Summa is an abundant cigar that is full flavored and full bodied with an intensity that is present, but graceful. The flavors are structured in such a way that creates a subtle but relentless crescendo of flavor and complexity without becoming overbearing. The velvety mouth feel preserves a lingering finish that skews towards a darker style of flavors but is complimented by an underlying buttery note that adds a touch of levity to the blend. Each Ferio Tego Summa vitola tells a unique version of the Summa story.
The Summa was initially release in four size, but recently Ferio Tego announced the addition of a toro size. The Summa comes in a 10-ct hinged Okume box:
- Corona Gorda (5 3/4 x 46, $18.00 MSRP/cigar)
- Robusto (5 x 50, $19.00 MSRP/cigar)
- Torpedo (6 1/4 x 52, MSRP $20.00/cigar)
- Gordo (6 x 60, $21.00 MSRP/cigar)
- Toro (6 x 50, $19.50 MSRP/cigar)
Blend Information
- Vitola: Corona Gorda
- Wrapper: Ecuadorian Corojo
- Binder: Ecuadorian Sumatra
- Filler: Nicaraguan, Dominican
- Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
- Factory: Tabacos de Exportación (TABADEX)

Final Score: 91

On the Smoking Syndicate Roundtable 20, the Cigar Coop Coalition tackles Lure Cigars’ The Jolly Walleye Limited Edition Holiday Cigar.
Lure Cigars was founded by Lou Cross III as a tribute to his late father. Lou Cross Jr. Cross Jr. was also an avid fisherman, which is the brand’s theme. According to Cross, “Immediately after lighting this elegant cigar, we experienced flavors that immediately connected with memories of the many sweet and savory treats we enjoy around the holidays. We knew this would be one we wanted to share with fellow cigar enthusiasts. Dad’s favorite fish to eat was the Walleye pike at a Friday night fish fry, and it seemed fitting since this cigar has become one of our favorite blends in our portfolio.”
