PCA 2025: Quality Importers Trading Company

For the accessories fan, Quality Importers Trading Company always provides a lot of new and fun things, and the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was no exception. Quality Importers has a wide range of accessories under various brands. If you look at things from a high level, this year Quality Importers focused on travel humidors, a new electronic humidor, and a new electronic humidification device. In addition, the Xikar brand now has a new soft-flame lighter and an extension to its popular XI1 cutter line.

Cigar Caddy

Cigar Caddy is the brand that focuses on travel humidors. This year, there were a couple of newer releases at PCA 2025 for the Cigar Caddy brand. Earlier this year, the Cigar Caddy Tackle Box was released. This is a ten-count Cigar Caddy humidor that resembles a tackle box. When opened, there is room for ten cigars and a compartment to hold small accessories or personal items. The Tackle Box has hit the market and has already been seen on the Drew Estate Freestyle Live Kit earlier this year. Pricing comes in at $44.99.

In addition, five new color options (Brown, Dark Gray, Red, Green, and Tan) were added to the ten-count Cigar Caddy humidors. The 15-count Cigar Caddy humidors saw new Dark Gray and Navy Blue options.

Humidor Supreme

Humidor Supreme has all of Quality Importers’ Personal and Commercial humidors. This year, Quality Importers unveiled the Humidor Supreme 9200. The 9200 is actually two humidors in one. Each side has its own humidity and temperature control. The unit measures 38 ¾” w x 26 ¾” d x 70 7/8″ h. Quality Importers says the 9200 can hold anywhere from 3,700 to 6,800 cigars. Pricing for the 9200 comes in at $8,000 SRP.

Hydra

Hydra is Quality Importers’ brand that handles electronic humidification. This year, Quality Importers launched the Hydra Turbo. Hydra Turbo is designed to regulate humidity inside large cabinet humidors and walk-in humidors up to 100 square feet. It includes an optional-use direct waterline system with an overflow shut-off switch, manual on/off valve, and drain valve. Pricing comes in at $500.00.

Xikar

Xikar is the premium lighter brand from Quality Importers, and this year, they’ve launched two exciting products. The first is the Xikar Ardore, a dual soft-flame lighter that hit the market just before the PCA 2025. The Ardore is available in five stylish finishes: Black, Black/Rose Gold, Gunmetal, Red, and Blue. It is priced at $69.99.

Finally, there is the Xikar XI1 G10. This new iteration of the Xikar XI1 cigar cutter is crafted using G10. G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass resin laminate featuring high mechanical strength and resistance to chemicals. The black stainless steel blades are seen on the Xikar Xi1 Phantom. The finish features four Damascus-style finishes in the following colors: Blue, Olive, Orange, and Red. The G10 is CNC machined to produce these patterns, so each cutter has a unique pattern.

Pricing comes in at $84.99. Last year, Xikar released the G10 version of its V-Cut cutter.
