Wildfire Releasing B-Sides & The Hook at PCA 2024

Later this week, during the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show, Wildfire Cigar Co. will be showing off two new limited-edition cigars.

The first is named B-Sides, a 7 x 48 Churchill incorporating an Ecuadorian habano-seed wrapper, a Mexican San Andrés binder and filler tobaccos grown in the Estelí and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua. According to a press release, the components of B-Sides are the same as the ones used in another of the company’s releases named The Single, but Wildfire changed “the position of the wrapper and binder and filler percentages to show how different a cigar can be using the same ingredients but changing their position and quantities.”

B-Sides will have an MSRP of $15 each and the cigars will be packaged in 10-count boxes, with only 500 boxes being released. The cigars are being made at Fábrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A. and boxes are scheduled to begin shipping to retailers in early April.

In addition, Wildfire will be debuting The Hook, a 6 x 46 corona gorda made with a Dominican wrapper, Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed binder and filler tobaccos that include Dominican piloto, Mexican San Andrés and Pennsylvania broadleaf. This will be the second in a three-part series from Wildfire that has been modeled off the parts of a rock song: intro, hook and breakdown. The first part, named The Intro, was released in early 2023.

Each cigar has an MSRP of $12 and it is limited to 500 boxes of 10 cigars. Wildfire says The Hook is being made at Fábrica Centroamericana de Tabaco S.A. in Danlí, Honduras and that boxes will be ready to start shipping during the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show.
