We conclude our coverage of the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show with a visit to Pete Johnson of Tatuaje Cigars. As always, Johnson took this opportunity to unveil most of his upcoming releases for the year. This year, the Coalition team had a mantra of #lesswrapperbinderfiller, which resonated throughout many of our interviews, including this one. While we do touch on some of the new products, Pete shares a wealth of insights, particularly regarding the industry and the Trade Show itself. To wrap things up, Bear Duplisea presented Pete with the El Oso Fumar Takes #1 Cigar of the Year award. We hope you enjoy this packed “22 Minutes with Pete Johnson.”

The 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was the fifth one for Howard Gumbs and Howard G Cigars. One theme we had seen around PCA 2025 was the introduction of humidified Fresh Packs (or Humi-Packs). Fresh Packs played a crucial role in Howard G's expansion in the marketplace. Over the past few years, Howard G Cigars has begun appearing in locations like ABC Liquor Store and smaller lounges that have limited space for boxes. Fresh Packs not only addressed this issue but also provided an opportunity for consumers to become acquainted with the Howard G brand.
