The 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was the third one form Joshua and Cynn Coburn as the owner of Dissident Cigars. The brand was a part of the Oveja Negra Brands booth since Dissident was resurrected back in 2019. Meanwhile, as Dissident has done the previous two years, the Coburns came into PCA with a limited edition cigar. This year’s limited edition is Dissident Plasmatic, a tribute to the late trash-punk rocker Wendy O. Williams and her band the Plasmatics. The whole punk rock theme of the Williams and Plasmatics was a perfect theme with the rebellious nature of the brand. The boys from Let’s Get Pairing caught up with brand owner Joshua Coburn.
The Dissident Plasmatic is a barber-pole cigar highlighted by Sumatra and Connecticut wrappers. The wrappers cover an Ecuadorian binder and fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Packaged in 20-count boxes, the cigar comes in one size – a 5 1/2 x 52 vitola. As with all Dissident Cigars, it is produced at Fabrica Oveja Negra and distributed by Oveja Negra Brands. The cigar is priced at $12.50 MSRP.
