The 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was quite a special one for Quesada Cigars. The company is amid a significant milestone as it is celebrating 50 years since it opened its first factory, Manufactura de Tabacos S.A. (MATSA). Unsurprisingly, there is a special anniversary cigar to mark this milestone. The Quesadas first unveiled the 50th Anniversary Cigar at Procigar 2024, but PCA 2024 would be the place retailers would get the opportunity to order this limited edition cigar.

Over the past few years, PDR Cigars has been rebranding, restructuring, and rebounding many of its cigars. The branding has been incorporating more in the way of vibrant colors on the boxes and bands. At the same time, owner Abe Flores has been incorporating more in the way of Dominican-grown tobaccos into his blends. Much of this stems from the fact, he had recently become a ProCigar member and wants to support the tobacco business out of the Dominican Republic. It also has allowed him to get more consistent tobacco in terms of what he is buying. This year, the rebrand continued with the rebranding of the Connecticut River Valley line. In addition, he had one surprise line he was keeping under wraps at the show. PCA 2022 Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-neV

Bob, Dale and Craig talk about cigars and life. Plus a question of decor from Dan in Detroit. Some of the cigars discussed: Pinolero by AJ Fernandez, Cohiba Esplendidos and San Lotabo Oval Maduro; Pro Cigar - 2010 Cayacoa 5x50 Robusto From Cigar Clan magazine (a russian publication) The next instance can in good conscience reward prohibited in our editorial epithet "unique." These cigars will not find in the market, they were created especially for guests ProCigar 2011. The box says, "Guess who made the cigars." Inside - five cigars with the same black ribbon on each of them - one additional Bantu named cigars - in honor of the five leaders of the pre-Columbian America: Higüey, Guacanagarix, Guarionex, Cayacoa and Bohechio. Apart from inside a box of cigars can be detected liner, where guests asked to indicate which of the five companies (General Cigar, La Aurora, MATASA, Tabacalera de Garcia, Tabadom (Davidoff)) which has created a cigar. You could also fill the table Fortress / taste aromatic and give it all to the organizers. Participants whose answers match 100%, the organizers have promised to fully cover the cost of participation in the Festival in 2012. The lucky ones were two, both - from the U.S. Deep rich Colorado Maduro wrapper with dark thin veins and perfectly consistent color between them, Uniform marble head. Peppery (!) prelight tastes Initial flavors: Very toasty, Malt and cinnamon. First third opens up with overwhelming pepper and nicotine strength. Light bodied with strong flavors. Sharp (for me) but likely a treat for someone who enjoys a cigar at the pinnacle of balanced strength. Unique finish; it is long in the nasal cavity and on the hard palate but relatively short on the tongue. Reminds me of two different Fuente products - The aggresive peppery style strength of a FFOX with some of the complexities in common with a Casa Fuente. In the second third the body picked up to medium, the strength escalated in sharpness to the point that the smoke when held in my mouth actually stung my tongue. The cigar burned flawlessly and produced a perfectly white ash. Finish lengthens on the tongue considerably and slightly tingles. Still displays complexity of flavor. Tastes tarry on the palate now. Not drying at all. A relight and purge of tars resulted in a return of significant similarities to a Casa Fuente.
