If you were looking for plenty of new releases at the 2022 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, Tatuaje Cigars was the place to go. This year there was a plethora of products ranging from new regular production cigars, line extensions, anniversary cigars, a PCA Exclusive, and what Tatuaje Cigars owner Pete Johnson called, "a trick up his sleeve." What was even more amazing was that 2022 was already a busy year for Tatuaje Cigars with several releases introduced to the market - including the La Riqueza SE, Tuxtla, and Cohere cigars prior to the Trade Show. We caught up with Pete Johnson to discuss all of the happenings at Tatuaje. Pete also talked about the 2022 Trade Show and the recent court decision that ruled against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. On top of that, we presented Pete with a couple of awards for the year 2021: the El Oso Fumar Award for most watched "Take" (a.k.a "Show") and the Prime Time Person of the Year award. In this jam-packed PCA Report, we proudly present 28 Minutes with Pete Johnson.

It has become a tradition with the Cigar Coop Coalition coverage that on the morning of Day 4 of the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) we will have our visit with Steve Saka of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust. Saka is always generous with his time, and the visit becomes so much more than a recap of his new products. It mixes in a mini-recap of the trade show, a bit of the state of the industry, a bit of the state of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, and lots of other pearls of wisdom both related to cigars and not related to cigars. It has customarily been our longest interview of the Trade Show and 2022 was no exception. Therefore, in this PCA Report, we present 33 Minutes with Steve Saka.
As for the products, while some might say this was a quiet year for Saka as most of the products showcased were limited production, in a way there is no quiet year for Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust.
