PCA 2025: Drew Estate / Tour de Liga (Audio)

At the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, Drew Estate showcased a blend of traditional and innovative elements. On the conventional front, their brands were on display, and sales orders were being processed as usual. However, the real highlight was the non-traditional aspect: Drew Estate introduced its Tour de Liga event to the PCA. This immersive experience, which had previously taken place in Arizona, takes participants through the intricate cigar-making process and includes tobacco tastings paired with various selections. Retailers enjoyed this hands-on experience while also placing their orders. The invitation extended to cigar media was an exciting addition, a chance our team eagerly seized. Not only did we gain valuable insights along the way, but we also got a firsthand feel for the experience retailers had, which truly captured the unique atmosphere of the Drew Estate booth.

PCA 2025: Artesano Del Tobacco (Audio)

Artesano Del Tobacco came into the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show with some newer offerings. The company works closely with AJ Fernandez Cigars to handle its production. While the recent fire affected many of AJ's clients, Artesano Del Tobacco was able to introduce its new products into the market. This year, the big news for Artesano Del Tobacco is the company's first Connecticut Shade offering, which falls under the Viva La Vida line. This follows up on a recent lancero line extension for El Pulpo. Both new offerings, the company says, are the direct result of consumer engagement.
