One company that made its debut at the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was ChiMolly Cigars. Each year, Erron Nielsen scopes out new companies at the Trade Show hoping to find the next gem. Very early at the 2025 PCA Trade Show, Erron discovered the ChiMolly cigars and was immediately impressed. While we were not familiar with this brand, we quickly got on-board with this after Erron’s discovery. ChiMolly is a company that incorporates Chinese culture into the premium cigar line. The cigars are blended by Zhuofeng Weng out of the Mi Havana factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. The company has a slogan “It’s all about texture”. The company provides itself on having a smooth, creamy texture that is balanced out with rich flavors. ChiMolly had already released two cigar lines to market, and introduced its third line this year.
Pangu
This is the company’s first line and the one that hooked our team. Pangu is a mild to medium offering highlighted by an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and a combination of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. Pricing was listed at $18.00 per cigar on the company web-site. Both sizes come in 20-count boxes.
