PCA 2021: Protocol Cigars (Audio)

From the 2021 PCA Trade Show, we talk to Juan Cancel and Kevin Keithan of Protocol Cigars.

For Protocol Cigars, 2021 marked the sixth IPCPR/PCA Trade Show. It also marked the first trade show since Kevin Keithan became a managing partner for the company. When Protocol Cigars first launched their company, they had a small kiosk at the Espinosa Cigars’ booth hoping to sell some of their Protocol Blue line. Fast-forward to 2021, and Protocol Cigars now has a portfolio of 11 core blends and has released over a dozen limited editions. They won’t make a claim to be the largest company, but they have built a portfolio of offerings to appeal to a lot of cigar enthusiasts. The company is still part of the Espinosa Cigars booth, and while they had several new releases to showcase, they’ve also gotten nostalgic with a new size to the Protocol Blue.
