										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Plasencia Cigars has introduced, what they are calling, an evolved brand identity with a new logo and branding. It will be officially unveiled at the 2026 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show in New Orleans.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="600" height="600" src="https://smokintabacco.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/3445db8536dc7dfc44b16525f8f08805.png" alt="" class="wp-image-14671" style="width:400px"/></figure>
</div>


<p>“Since 1865, every generation of Plasencia has inherited the same mandate: make it better. This identity makes visible what has always been true: that great tobacco starts with great soil, and that what we pass down matters as much as what we make today”, said Néstor Andrés Plasencia, fifth-generation member of the Plasencia cigar family.</p>



<p>The updated brand identity will begin rolling out in Winter 2026, with a thoughtful and measured introduction across Plasencia’s brand touchpoints throughout the year. This deliberate approach reflects the same philosophy that defines the company’s craft. Nothing rushed. Nothing forced. Everything is intentional.</p>



<p>In addition, Plasencia has introduced its next World Cup limited edition release with the Triunfal. This limited-edition release, limited to 5,000 individually numbered boxes worldwide, honors a historic international celebration of soccer or as it is known everywhere else in the world, fútbol.</p>

<p>“Triunfal represents much more than a cigar,” said José Luis Plasencia, fifth-generation member of the Plasencia cigar family. “It reflects unity, resilience, and celebration—values that resonate deeply with our family’s heritage. We believe cigars are meant to accompany life’s most memorable moments, and Triunfal honors one of the most powerful shared celebrations inspired by the game that unites the world.”</p>



<p>Triunfal will make its debut at PCA 2026 where retailers can place orders More information, such as ship dates, will be available at the show. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Earlier this week, My Father Cigars announced a new cigar called La Lealtad that is set to debut at PCA 2026. While the company has not revealed many details on this, it is said to be the second cigar to come from the company&#8217;s new Honduran factory after the release of latest year&#8217;s My Father Blue.</p>

</div>


<p>The name is the Spanish word for &#8220;loyalty&#8221; and in a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/1257386606495909">social media post</a> where it was revealed, the company wrote, &#8220;where legacy starts with loyalty and tradition&#8221;.</p>



<p>The box featured in the video posted to social media shows the size being a 6 x 54 toro, but <em>Smokin Tabacco </em>was told there are four sizes and was also confirmed to be a regular production. More on this release when we have more information.</p>

<p>Manifatture Sigaro Toscano will introduce the Toscano Terre to the United States Market at PCA 2026 in New Orleans. This cigar features a blend made entirely from 100% Italian Kentucky tobacco grown in Tuscany, Lazio, and Campania.</p>



<p>Terre was previously exclusively available in Italy, but will come to the U.S. market as a limited edition with only 1,000 boxes available. It is a 6 x 38 with an MSRP of $7.50 per cigar or $225 for a box of 30. While it will make its official debut at the show, Toscano says these will begin shipping immediately. </p>

<p>Terre uses a dark fire-cured Italian Kentucky wrapper from Tuscany and is presented in a wide-bodied format designed to deliver a full and structured smoking experience. The company says its profile brings together the spiciness of Valtiberina tobacco, the sharpness of Pontecorvo tobacco, and the distinctive notes of Benevento tobacco. This combination of Italian Kentucky tobaccos creates a full and satisfying smoke, highlighting the characteristic of Italian Kentucky tobacco from the main growing regions.</p>



<p>Attendees at the trade show will have the opportunity once again to attend live cigar rolling demonstrations led by Valentina Pieraccini, one of the company’s most experienced cigar rollers. These sessions offer a firsthand look at the traditional techniques that continue to define Toscano cigars.</p>

<p>Earlier this week, Davidoff announced the launch of the Travel Humidor Urban. The third and final model in a series of revamped travel humidors, the Urban model offers aficionados maximum protection for their cigars while on the move, combining style and convenience throughout their journey. Featuring creamy linen and Alcantara material paired with a convenient shoulder strap, the humidor’s classic yet modern design is inspired by contemporary metropolitan trends.</p>



<p>In 2024, Davidoff aunched the Travel Humidor models Explorer and Business, both of which quickly gained widespread popularity. The Urban features a smart tray developed exclusively for Davidoff. Its innovative wave design can be flexibly adjusted to safely hold and transport up to eight cigars, depending on shape/size. Carefully selected materials protect cigars from impact and help preserve delicate wrappers. Laminated fabric, seamlessly welded components and a Boveda two-way humidity control pack maintain ideal humidity levels inside the humidor for up to 45 days.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="10034" height="10034" data-id="14661" src="https://smokintabacco.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/51003560_davacc_humtravl_urbn_005.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-14661"/></figure>
</figure>



<p>Other interesting features include a magnetic clasp for easy opening and closing, a dedicated pocket for cigar accessories, and a removable and length-adjustable shoulder strap for comfortable carrying. The humidor also fits easily into any suitcase or cabin luggage and can be rolled up when empty thanks to its flexible construction.</p>



<p>&#8220;With the launch of our Travel Humidor Urban, we respond to the way our aficionados live today&#8221;, says Javier González, SVP Head Global Marketing &amp; Innovation at Oettinger Davidoff. &#8220;Designed for modern city life, it combines refined aesthetics with intelligent functionality, ensuring cigars remain perfectly protected wherever the journey leads.&#8221;</p>



<p>The new Davidoff Travel Humidor Urban will be available on June 11th, 2026 at select Davidoff appointed merchants and flagship stores around the world, with an MSRP of $484. The Urban will also be on display at the 2026 Premium Cigar Association trade show in New Orleans later this month.</p>

<p>JRE Tobacco Company announced earlier this week the launch of Gorbusto by Aladino. Gorbusto marks a distinct evolution within the JRE portfolio, defined not just by what&#8217;s in the blend, but by the<br>personality that represents each cigar.</p>



<p>Gorbusto introduces three original characters, Gori, Chimp, and Orang, each representing a<br>distinct personality found in any great cigar lounge, paired with a cigar that reflects their nature.</p>

<li>GORI: The Alpha &#8220;Bold strength. Full presence.&#8221; Confident and driven, Gori represents the smoker<br>who approaches everything with intention. His cigar mirrors his personality: bold, assertive, and<br>unmistakably full in body.</li>



<li>CHIMP: The Thinker &#8220;Refined depth. Quiet complexity.&#8221; Observant and deliberate, Chimp prefers one<br>meaningful conversation over the noise of a crowd. His cigar rewards patience, a refined, complex<br>smoke that unfolds slowly, much like his thinking.</li>



<li>ORANG: The Creator &#8220;Creative character. Unexpected notes.&#8221; Expressive and free-spirited, Orang is<br>the energy in the room. His cigar is as unexpected as he is: creative in flavor, bold in character, and<br>unlike anything else in the lineup.</li>

<p>Different in style and taste, they always end up in the same place: the cigar lounge, where ideas are<br>shared, stories grow taller, and cigars burn slow. Gorbusto is a medium-to-full-bodied Honduran cigar line featuring short, thick formats built to deliver maximum flavor in a concentrated smoking experience. Like all JRE products, this line is made entirely from 100% Honduran tobacco grown on the JRE Tobacco Farm and rolled in the Aladino factory.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Origin: Honduras</li>



<li>Factory: Fabrica de Puros Aladino</li>



<li>Wrapper: Undisclosed</li>



<li>Binder: Undisclosed</li>



<li>Filler: Undisclsoed</li>



<li>Size: 4 1/2 x 60</li>



<li>MSRP: $11.00</li>



<li>Box Count: Twenty</li>
</ul>



<p>“Each cigar stands on its own — different wrapper, different vibe, different experience. It&#8217;s a modern<br>way of approaching cigars, while staying rooted in tradition.&#8221; said Justo Eiroa, JRE Tobacco<br>President.</p>



<p>The line&#8217;s tagline, &#8220;Defined by Character&#8221;, corresponds to one of three original characters, each<br>with their own flavor profile and personality archetype. These are some of the personalities any cigar<br>lounge regular will instantly recognize or perhaps relate to themselves.</p>

<p>Miami Cigar &amp; Co. announces the return of the Nestor Miranda Private Reserve Lancero, set to debut at the 2026 Premium Cigar Association Trade Show in New Orleans.</p>



<p>Originally introduced in 2021 as part of a series of blends personally selected by Nestor Miranda, the Private Reserve line reflects a more intimate approach to cigar making—one shaped by Miranda’s Cuban roots and his decades building a life and business in Miami. The result is a philosophy centered on balance, refinement, and the enjoyment of the smoking experience.</p>



<p>This release features a Dominican Corojo wrapper, Nicaraguan Criollo ‘98 binder, and a blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan, and Brazilian fillers, and is produced at La Aurora in the Dominican Republic, resulting in a smoking experience defined by nuance and balance. Produced in limited quantities of 500 boxes, the Private Reserve Lancero remains true to its original concept—selective, measured, and rooted in personal preference.</p>



<p>“The lancero has always been my favorite—it’s an elegant cigar, simple as that,” said Nestor Miranda. “At the end of the day, I smoke what I enjoy—and this is exactly that.”</p>



<p>The packaging, defined by deep blue tones and a classic tile-inspired pattern, subtly reflects the intersection of Cuban heritage and Miami’s refined, coastal aesthetic. Subtle in presentation yet grounded in tradition, the Private Reserve Lancero reflects that same duality—honoring heritage while embracing the spirit and evolution of Miami. The Nestor Miranda Private Reserve Lancero will be showcased at PCA 2026 in New Orleans. This is expected to ship in July 2026.</p>

<p>Designed for travel and grab-and-go occasions, the Fresh Pack also gives retailers a flexible new tool for humidors and adjacent channels, including liquor retail, where presentation, portability, and product integrity matter.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Cavalier Genève Cigars announced last week that the cigars known as White Series Lancero, White Series Salomones, Black II Lancero and Black II Salomones, which were the entire Cavalier Small Batch category, have all been fully discontinued. </p>



<p>Cavalier Genève Cigars has announced that the newly revisited Small Batch will showcase one Lancero and one Salomon. Even though the blend is fully reviewed and new, the initial point of it’s creation was the White Series blend, which is where Cavalier started. This decision is to be true to the origin of the company, and to the one blend that to this day, still is the spearhead of the brand, all while providing a unique experience, specific to these two sizes.</p>

<p>“Over the last few years, we worked hard to constantly keep those extremely intricate vitolas constantly available, which was, as I believe today a mistake. We ended up completely disregarding the uniqueness and skill level required to achieve this kind of products. We decided it was time to scratch everything and go back to the basics.” Said Sebastien Decoppet, founder of Cavalier Genève Cigars.</p>



<p>“The Small Batch will now be reborn, respectfully, through two restricted productions yearly. There will now only be one Lancero and one Salomon.”</p>



<p>Additional to the changes, a brand new presentation for both vitolas has been announced, as<br>seen in the pictures in attachment.</p>



<p>“We truly want to highlight the skillset of the selected rollers and honor them as well as concentrate on these very special productions, in a way that makes more sense and aligns with our true beliefs. Dedication to the craft, the art of making cigars and delivering something truly sensational should be at the center of each creation. Cigars, from our perspective, should be more like art, each and every one of the creations being beautifully unique.” Said Sebastien Decoppet.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Wrapper: Jamastran</li>



<li>Binder: Jalapa</li>



<li>Fillers: Esteli, Ometepe, Paraguay, Jalapa</li>



<li>Lancero MSRP: $13.20</li>



<li>Salomones MSRP: $16.90</li>
</ul>



<p>Cavalier recommends all accounts and interests parties to inquire information through their local Cavalier Rep to see how to get access to these specific releases. A few additional Cavalier projects are joining this new Small Batch category in such as Project Broadleaf &amp; the 10th anniversary.</p>



<p>The shipping schedule of the new Lancero and Salomones has not yet been shared with the public, but Cavalier has announced that a prerelease version will be presented at PCA 2026 and pre-orders will be taken during the show and that the first batch will be delivered to the market somewhere in the second half of 2026.</p>



<p>All Cavalier Genève Cigars are produced at Cavalier’s Fabrica Centroamericana de Tabaco SA<br>(FCT) in Danli, Honduras.</p>
