PCA 2023: Esteban Carreras (Audio)

I've noticed that you can count on Estaban Carreras to introduce a new product at the year's Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. You can also count on them not announcing what that cigar is until the doors of the show open. Typically for its PCA show releases, Esteban Carreras has introduced a regular production cigar. In the case of the 2023 PCA Trade Show, Esteban Carreras opted to release a limited-production cigar called Taken from the Devil’s Hand Maduro. This is a Maduro counterpart to a regular production cigar that was introduced last year called Taken From the Devil's Hand, which was the company's first Corojo cigar.

PCA 2023: JRE Tobacco Co. (Audio)

The 2023 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show marked the seventh trade show for JRE Tobacco Company. This year, the company came into the trade show with four new releases. In the past, many of JRE's trade show releases focused on their core line. This year this focus shifted to limited edition offerings. There is the company's first true one-and-done limited edition, an ongoing limited production release, and a lounge exclusive offering. In terms of a company, JRE is very much tied to the family farm, the JRE Tobacco Farm, and this year JRE had two releases highlighted by a Sumatra leaf being grown on the farm.

We recommend you turn you audio up to hear this interview. We apologize for the audio issues, but still hope you enjoy the interview.

PCA 2023: Howard G Cigars (Audio)

The 2023 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was the third one for Howard G Cigars. For the Cigar Coop Coalition team, this has become one of the most fun booths to visit. Owner Howard Gumbs Jr. and his team are always fun to talk to - and they have great products. In addition to his own core line of cigars, Gumbs has teamed up with former NFL standout players Ike Taylor and Leon Searcy to develop their own cigar brands. The one thing that really impresses me is how the whole team comes together to support the brand. This was evident with this year's release from Howard G - The Perfect Round. Rather than being a football-themed cigar, The Perfect Round has a golf theme - something the trio enjoys playing together.
