Each year the IPCPR/PCA Trade Show features companies that are exhibiting for the first time. This year a company called Stallone Cigars was going to make its debut at the 2020 PCA Trade Show. Stallone Cigars is a company founded by Tony Barrios, a cutting horse competitor. For several years, Stallone Cigars has been sold in the International (non-U.S.) market. At this year’s trade show, Stallone had planned to launch a six-blend line to the U.S. market known as the Cowboy Series. Earlier this summer, the company made some headlines by introducing industry veteran Todd Vance as its North American Vice President of Sales.

Production for the Cowboy Series comes from Guillermo Peña’s Tabacalera La Perla in Estelí, Nicaragua. Peña is best known for handling production for Paul Stulac Cigars. Barrios has brought a horse theme to his brand. The name Stallone is Italian for stallion. In addition, the Cowboy series draws an analogy to the color of the wrapper and the Spanish name for the color of a horse.
