PCA 2023: Wildfire Cigar Co.

Due in part to the unique design of its booth, Wildfire Cigar Co. made a splash during its debut at last year’s PCA Convention & Trade Show. That design simulated a campsite in the woods, complete with a faux campfire, real pans, faux tree stumps made of florists’ foam, real sticks, and a bear suit.

This year, the company changed things up a bit with its booth design, albeit keeping with the camping theme. The campsite in the woods was replaced by an actual camper, lawn chairs and a picnic table sitting on faux grass. However, the bear from last year was back, albeit inside the camper instead of outside.

The company’s new regular production line is being made by Fábrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A., the same factory that made the company’s first two releases.

Artaios

This release from Wildfire shares its name with Celtic words that could reference a bear-god or the Roman god Mercury.
