Each year when I go to the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, one of the companies I most look forward to visiting is Esteban Carreras. Esteban Carreras typically has one new release a year and launches it at the Trade Show. Esteban Carreras does not announce what its new cigar is before the trade […]
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 […]
At the 2023 Premium Cigar Association Trade Show, Esteban Carreras launched the Taken from the Devil’s Hand Corojo Maduro. This is the second release in the Taken from the Devil’s Hand Series. Last year, Esteban Carreras launched the original Taken from the Devil’s Hand in a Dark Corojo. This year, the company is adding a […]
There are three things that have been pretty much constant about Esteban Carreras Cigars: 1) The company tends to do one new release per year; 2) That release comes out at the PCA Trade Show; 3) The release is not unveiled until the Trade Show opens.

About ten years ago, Esteban Carreras was an “under the radar” brand and was truly one of the best kept secrets in the cigar world. Today, the company is much better known than it was a decade ago, and much of that can be attributed to a line introduced known as Chupa Cabra. Chupa Cabra […]
There are two things I have come to expect from Esteban Carreras Cigars when the company comes to the PCA/IPCPR Trade Show. First is that the company will unveil a new product at the Trade Show and second, the company will keep the release under wraps until the Trade Show opens. In 2020 the COVID-19 […]
When it comes to Esteban Carreras Cigars, the company tends to focus its energy on one new release a year, and that new release always makes its debut at the PCA/IPCPR Trade Show.

At the 2021 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, Esteban Carreras showed off its release for 2021, the Esteban Carreras Chupa Cabra 10th Anniversary line.
