BCB Weekly Cigar Roundup — Week of September 7 to September 13

Published: September 13, 2026 | browardcigarboard.com

It was a busy, trade-show-driven week for premium cigars, with InterTabac 2026 (September 15–17 in Dortmund, Germany) pulling brand debuts from Don Emmanuel, Aganorsa Leaf, and Casdagli into the headlines ahead of the show floor opening. Business news also moved: a major online retailer began a full rebrand and a European Cuban-cigar distributor filed for insolvency. On the product side, Room101 marked its 17th anniversary with a new limited release, while a wave of routine shipping notices kept boutique and heritage brands alike moving product to retailers.
