In 2023, Tabanero Cigars began moving some of its production to Nicaragua. For 2025, the company is releasing a new line that is being produced in Nicaragua.

The results of these survey will be analyzed by an AI model that has been developed by Bentley Tobacco. After that, humans will take the insights learned and blend cigars that will debut next April.

The first cigars will go to attendees of the Red Meat Lovers dinner at The Great Smoke in March 2025. The cigars will then reappear at the 2025 PCA Convention & Trade Show in mid-April.

The Cigar Caddy 5CT model will get the three new colors before the end of the year. Next year, Quality Importers plans to add the same colors to the 10CT and 15CT models.

Fans wanting more of the Española Year of the Dragon will soon get their wish. The new Española Corojo is slated to debut at the 2025 PCA Convention & Trade Show in April.

The new 6 x 54 toro extras are slated to debut later this year in a limited edition sampler. Next year, they will be added as regular production SKUs, while the current 5 1/2 x 54 belicoso vitolas transition to limited production offerings.

Davidoff’s return to the PCA Convention & Trade Show means that all four of the large companies that balked at PCA 2020 will be exhibitors at PCA 2025.

To celebrate the Year of the Dragon, the French accessory company has one humidor, two cigar cases, three ashtrays, two lighters and one cigar cutter.

The new accessory is designed with a double guillotine cutter, a v-cutter and two different punch blades.

This is the company’s first v-cutter. It will ship in September.

The new cigar stand is inspired by El Capitolio, Cuba’s national capitol building. It will begin shipping to stores next month.
