PCA 2021: Supreme Tobacco
One of the most interesting new companies debuting at the 2021 PCA Convention & Trade Show is Supreme Tobacco, a cigar brand based out of the country of Haiti. The company was founded in 2015 and grows tobacco on its farms in the Plateau Central in Haiti, which is located in the center of the country bordering the Dominican Republic.
The booth was jumping almost every time I saw it, and the crew with Supreme Tobacco seemed to be writing plenty of orders. The company’s setup is quite memorable with a massive black backdrop that had the logo of its first cigar line printed in gold on it.

Named for the cacique—or Taíno ruler—of Xaragua, an area now in Haiti and in which Port-au-Prince is located, Supreme Tobacco’s cigars are produced at its Supreme Tobacco S.A. factory in Haiti, although the wrapper for its debut release is grown in the Dominican Republic.

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
