Meet Alma del Cielo (“Soul from the Sky”), the newest gem in the acclaimed Alma Series and the first cigar from Plasencia to be crafted entirely with tobacco grown at over 3,500 feet above sea level. That’s right — this is the brand’s first-ever high-elevation blend, and it’s now officially shipping after a show-stopping debut at the 2025 PCA Convention in New Orleans.
Ceniza Fina is back with another banger—and this time, it’s wrapped in silky gold. Say hello to the Ceniza Fina Connecticut, the newest gem from the boutique brand that made serious waves last year with their championship-celebrated Corojo blend.
Cigar history buffs, rejoice — one of J.C. Newman’s oldest names is making a bold return. Originally introduced in 1900, Sarzedas was known back then as “The Aromatic Cigar,” and over a century later, it’s getting a flavorful revival at the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show in New Orleans.
The hype is real: Supreme Leaf, one of Aganorsa’s most talked-about cigars, is getting a vitola upgrade and a sleek new look just in time for PCA 2025. Say hello to the Gran Toro—a 6 x 56 beast of a blend that stays true to its roots while turning heads with refined packaging.
Two decades in the game and still going strong. Aganorsa Leaf is raising a glass (or maybe just lighting one up) to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their beloved JFR line with a rich, box-pressed beauty that’s got aficionados buzzing.
If you’re heading to the PCA Trade Show in New Orleans this weekend, make sure you swing by the J.C. Newman booth—because they’re dropping something truly special. Back for a third year, the LeRoy Neiman Collector’s Edition cigar is here for 2025, and it’s got all the flavor, flair, and fine art you’d expect from a collab between America’s oldest cigar family and the legendary painter who knew his way around a smoke.
2025 is a big year for Dunbarton—ten years strong, through FDA drama, political unrest, a pandemic, and now tariffs. But instead of slowing down, they’re going full throttle with what Steve Saka calls a “deluge of bangers” for loyal fans and new smokers alike.
Bentley’s clearly not just playing the long game—they’re evolving, innovating, and turning heads while doing it. Whether you’re into smooth Connecticut smokes or full-bodied Rosados, or just curious about what an AI-designed cigar even tastes like, this is one brand to keep on your PCA radar.
More updates to come once the show kicks off!
Whether you’re a seasoned cigar vet or just appreciate a good stick with some personality, Outcast is worth a look. It’s not every day a new brand rolls in with both a unique blend and a clear identity. Could this be your next go-to smoke? If you like standing out, the answer might be yes.
Stay tuned—I’ll be keeping an eye on them and sharing first impressions once they hit shelves.
