One company that debuted at the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was ChiMolly Cigars. Each year at the PCA Trade Show, Erron Nielsen scopes out new companies each year, hoping to find a new gem. Very early at the 2025 PCA Trade Show, Erron was immediately impressed by the ChiMolly cigars. While unfamiliar with this brand, we quickly got on board with it after Erron's discovery. ChiMolly is a company that incorporates Chinese culture into the premium cigar line. Zhuofeng Weng blends the cigars from the Mi Havana factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. The company has a slogan, "It's all about texture." The company prides itself on having a smooth, creamy texture balanced with rich flavors. ChiMolly had already released two cigar lines to market and introduced its third line this year.

Rocky Patel Premium Cigars consistently ranks among the busiest booths at the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, and 2025 was no exception. On Day Three, the Coalition Team dropped by the booth, which was still alive with energy. A key highlight was the celebration of the company’s 30th anniversary, a milestone that owner Rocky Patel takes immense pride in. However, this year’s show marked a departure from past events. A decade ago, it was typical for Rocky Patel to unveil multiple new regular production lines. In recent years, though, he has scaled back these usual releases, and in 2025, only three new products were introduced, all designated as limited editions.

At the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, Matilde Cigars paid homage to its late founder, José Seijas. Before founding Matilde Cigars, José Seijas was best known for his tenure at Tabacalera de Garcia, where he served as Master Blender and Vice President of Operations.
