The debut of seven different cigars, a golden Sasquatch statue, and cigar cutter that you can’t purchase.

This year, CigarBros is displaying a new desktop humidor made out of expanded polypropylene, a lightweight foam material. It’s a pretty dramatic pivot for a company that has been focused on selling B2B cabinet humidors designed to store cigars vertically.

Sinistro’s “Mr. Series” welcomes a new member at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show.

One of the cleanest-looking booths on the show floor belonged to Artista Cigars, which featured a recently released pair of cigars.

A new batch of blather from the cuckoo’s nest.

RoMa Craft is back with a bigger booth once again, and a couple of new cigars.

It’s Ozgener Family Cigars’ second PCA Convention & Trade Show. While it might sound like the company is “new,” the person behind it is definitively not new to the cigar industry. This year’s focus is the Aramas, which began shipping in May, and a new Pi Synesthesia.

A rarely seen Padrón line is getting a more widespread (yet still limited) release. Plus, an update on the Legends project.

Welcome to halfwheel’s coverage of the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show, live from Las Vegas. This post will show all of the booths that we have visited and written about. Best of all, as we publish, it will automatically update with the booth posts displayed in alphabetical order.

The PCA Convention & Trade Show is back, and so are our live interviews before the show floor opens, which has become a tradition here…
