PCA 2021: JRE Tobacco Co. (Audio)

From the 2021 PCA Trade Show, we talk to Justo Eiroa of JRE Tobacco Company.

For the past few IPCPR/PCA Trade Shows, if you walked to one of the ends you would run into the JRE Tobacco Company booth.  There has been a myth that the ends of the Trade Show floor is not the best location for a booth, but don't tell that to JRE Tobacco Company. Each year the booth is bustling with activity and 2021 was no surprise.

Despite the pandemic, 2020 was a big year for JRE Tobacco. The company launched two major blends off its Aladino line. The first was the Aladino Cameroon featuring a Cameroon seed wrapper grown at the JRE Tobacco Farm in the Jamastran Valley. The company also launched a Habano blend under the Aladino line known as the Aladino Vintage Selection. Both cigars were big hits for JRE Tobacco Company. Since the 2020 PCA Trade Show was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 PCA Trade Show gave JRE Tobacco the opportunity to have a Trade Show launch for Aladino Cameroon and Aladino Vintage Reserve. At this show, JRE Tobacco decided to showcase several line extensions to both blends.

PCA 2021: Esteban Carreras (Audio)

From the 2021 PCA Trade Show, we talk to Craig Cunningham of Esteban Carreras Cigars

When it comes to Esteban Carreras Cigars, the company tends to focus its energy on one new release a year, and that new release always makes its debut at the PCA/IPCPR Trade Show. In addition, the company remains quite tight-lipped on what that new release is until the doors of the Trade Show open. For 2021, Esteban Carreras's release commemorates ten years of the line that many will say put the company on the map - that cigar is the Chupa Cabra 10th Anniversary.

PCA 2021: E.P. Carrillo (Audio)

From the 2021 PCA Trade Show, we talk to Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr of E.P. Carrillo!

E.P. Carrillo has become the first manufacturer to exhibit two consecutive years as Cigar Aficionado's (CA) #1 Cigar of the Year, the industry's most prestigious award - namely because there wasn't any trade show in 2020. Still E.P. Carrillo has definitely been on fire the past few years. This year the focus was around the Perez-Carrillo lines, which saw the Pledge receive CA's #1 Cigar of the Year in 2020, the Encore receive #1 Cigar of the Year in 2018, and the La Historia receive #2 Cigar of the Year in 2014.

From the 2021 PCA Trade Show, we talk to Kurt Kendall of 7-20-4 Cigars.

The story for 7-20-4 Cigars has always been about bringing history, nostalgia, and premium cigars together. That story continued into 2021, but this year was a little different in that there were several items behind the scenes going on at the company.
