Once again, Wildfire Cigar Company was one of the most talked about booths at the 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. Wildfire is the company launched in 2021 by Jeremy McDonald, best known for his time with Caldwell Cigar Company. The booth went with one of the themes of Wildfire in that it had the look and feel of a campground - complete with an actual RV that was part of the booth. We mention one theme because the other theme revolves around music. McDonald had two releases with a music theme. Each is a release that comes from a different factory. In addition, each is a second installment of a limited edition trilogy from that factory.

This year, at the 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, there were two new offerings by AJ Fernandez Cigars. The first is a brand extension to the Dias de Gloria brand – the Dias de Gloria Brazil. As the name hints, the cigar incorporates a Brazilian wrapper as a part of the blend. The second thing is that we haven’t seen AJ Fernandez Cigars do much at a Trade Show preview something way in advance. That preview turns out to be a cigar commemorating 20 years that AJ has been in the cigar business.
