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.

Bohekio

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 been smoking cigars for over eight years. A documentary wedding photographer by trade, I spent seven years as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram. I started the cigar blog SmokingStogie in 2008 after realizing that there was a need for a cigar blog with better photographs and more in-depth information about each release. 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. I am a co-founder of halfwheel and now serve as an editor for halfwheel.
