PCA 2023: HVC Cigars
Over the past two years, HVC Cigars made a couple of significant moves toward vertical integration. In June 2021, the company announced it would be handling its own distribution which includes warehousing and order fulfillment. Almost a year later in June 2022, the company announced it was opening its own factory – Fabrica de Tabacos HVC S.A. It has continued expanding production out of the factory since then. Earlier this year, there was an expansion to the HVC Selección No. 1 HVC Selección No. 1 Natural. At this year's Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, an expansion was done to the HVC Hot Cake line in the form of a Connecticut Shade cigar known as the HVC Hot Cake Golden Line. The HVC Hot Cake Golden Line would be the first Connecticut Shade cigar by HVC. Both of these cigars would come out of the HVC factory.

PCA_2021-Dapper_Cigar_Company
From the 2021 PCA Trade Show, we talk to Ian Reith of Dapper Cigar Company.
f there is one cigar company that would be at the top of the list for the best-kept secret in the cigar industry it’s Dapper Cigar Company. Dapper is run by Ian Reith, who is someone who has a passion and understanding for cigar making. He has teamed up with the Nicaraguan American Cigars S.A. (NACSA) factory for a good portion of his cigar portfolio. NACSA is a factory used by the likes of Steve Saka and Christian Eiroa, and from what our team has seen, Reith is getting excellent tobaccos and working on excellent blends. There were several newer items being showcased at the 2021 Trade Show – some being introduced for the first time and others having a place in the PCA Trade Show spotlight for the first time.

2022
2022_COTY_12
Coming in at #12 is the Casa Magna Liga F Churchill by Quesada Cigars. Back in 2008, Manuel Quesada teamed up with Nestor Plasencia to release a cigar to be sold under the Quesada Cigars portfolio known as the Casa Magna Colorado. The cigar was met with critical acclaim and commercial success and is widely considered to be one of the most successful collaborations in history. Over the years, Quesada Cigars has grown Casa Magna into a full-fledged brand. Most recently Quesada has been taking over production of the offerings under the brand. One of the more recent offerings that was added to Casa Magna brand was the Liga F in 2021.
Liga F stands for Liga Fuerte and fuerte is Spanish for “strong.” The Casa Magna Liga F is meant to be a stronger and bolder expression for the brand. The blend for the Casa Magna Liga F features a sun-grown Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper. There are Dominican tobaccos used for binder and filler. In addition, some Nicaraguan tobaccos are incorporated into the filler. The Churchill size that lands on the countdown is a thicker expression of a Churchill measuring 7 x 50.
The Casa Magna Liga F does its job in terms of being bolder. While the cigar started out with medium strength and medium to full body, by the time the smoking experience reaches the final third, it’s delivering full strength and full body. This is a complex cigar with plenty of flavor nuances and flavor transitions. Notes include: sweet bread, natural tobacco, creamy almond, earth, cedar, baker’s spice, classic wood, and pepper. The cigar totally fires on all cylinders – flavor, construction, and complexity.
For Quesada Cigars, this is the eighth year the company has placed a cigar on a Cigar Coop Countdown, including three years in a row. This is the third Dominican-made cigar to land on this year’s Countdown and it gives the TABADEX factory a second cigar on the Countdown.

PCA_2022_Crowned_Heads-Ozgener_Family_Cigars
When it comes to the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show, Crowned Heads has been a staple for over a decade. Every year, when it comes to visiting the Crowned Heads booth, my reaction coming out of it has pretty much always been "Crowned Heads had a great show." This is with good reason - because the company has delivered time and time again with compelling products and the stories behind them. 2022 was no exception to the "great show" outcome. This year, Crowned Heads not only shared a booth with its strategic partner Ace Prime, but also with Tim Ozgener's new Ozgener Family Cigars company. In addition, Ozgener is reunited with his former CAO alumni as not only is Crowned Heads heads handling Ozgener's distribution, but Tim Ozgener himself is now a partner in Crowned Heads. In addition to the strong three-way alliance Crowned Heads has with Ace Prime and Ozgener Family Cigars, the company introduced two new products to market, including an exclusive cigar to 2022 PCA Trade Show attendees. Perhaps nobody brings a story to a cigar like Jon Huber, and this year was no exception.
