The 2022 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show is now in the annals of history, and a part of that story appears to have been the spread of the COVID-19 virus among attendees. On Monday, Cigar Coop learned of the first positive test result of an attendee. As of the evening of Wednesday, July […]

Last year HVC Cigars celebrated ten years in business, but the past year has perhaps been the most important for the company. In June 2021, the company announced it would be handling its own distribution which includes warehousing ad order fulfillment.

I’m going to say the theme of Day Two of the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was crowds – and it wasn’t attendance related. First up was the unveiling of Legends, the joint project being released by Arturo Fuente and Padrón Cigars. It’s a project where Jorge Padrón blended a cigar in tribute to […]
