While Ferio Tego has been present at the PCA Trade Show since 2021, the 2025 PCA Trade Show as a little different in that its distributor, Davidoff of Geneva was back. For the most part, things were the same at Ferio Tego, as the company had its own booth located in the vicinity of Davidoff. As always we catch up with one of the principals behind Ferio Tego, Michael Herklots

The 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was the fourth one for Oz Family Cigars. Company founder Tim Ozgener has used each of those PCA Trade Shows to introduce a new release. 2025 would also see Oz Family Cigars release its fourth regular production, Karatoba. This would be a very different release for Oz Family Cigars.
Our interview with Tim not only discusses the Karatoba, but a fun tradition we have is that we ask Tim to do impressions of some cigar industry personalities.

Fratello Cigars certainly had a busy 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. Each year I try to come up with a theme for a booth, but when it comes to Fratello owner and founder Omar de Frias, there is one word that comes to mind - "excitement". Omar brings an energy and genuine excitement to the projects he is developing. Like each year, Fratello's booth is quite busy in 2025, but our team managed to get to Omar on day one as opposed to trying to catch him before the Trade Show closes on the final day.
With over a decade in the cigar business, Fratello Cigars has built up a nice portfolio of core and limited edition offerings. 2025 saw several new additions introduced at PCA 2025.
