PCA 2022: Carolina Blue Cigars

When Carolina Blue Cigars was founded in 2016 by 30-year U.S. Army veteran Christopher Moore, the first three lines were rolled at Tabacalera De La Cruz located in Tamboril, Dominican Republic. However, the company moved all of its production to the Tabacalera El Puente factory in 2019 and two years later announced that it had entered into a fulfillment agreement with Fumare Internationale, the parent company of Illusione.

The company currently offers more than 10 lines under a number of different series including the Signature Series, the Broadleaf Collection and the Highway 101 Series.

Tucked in the back of the convention hall and surrounded a couple of larger companies, the Carolina Blue Cigars booth is still quite memorable, partly due to the awesome feathered hat that Moore was wearing while greeting customers.
