The 2022 Premium Cigar Association Trade Show saw the return of Micallef Cigars as an exhibitor. This had been the first time since 2019 that Micallef had exhibited at the Trade Show. Micallef's return wasn't so much focused on "what's new", but it was focused on its continuing commitment to the brick-and-mortar retailers and some overall changes the company has made in terms of its operations.
