DAILY CIGAR NEWS DEC 12th
A lot to unpack in today’s cigar news:
• Black Label Trading Co. shipped the first wave of Anathema Nocturne, a dark, late-year limited with intentionally tight distribution
• Foundation Cigars released Charter Oak Reserve 2025, a serialized, Reserve-only expression with extended aging
• Tabacalera Pichardo completed a dedicated small-batch rolling room to support limited and experimental blends
• Nick Melillo shared insights on U.S.-grown tobacco, pointing to aged domestic leaf playing a bigger role over the next 3–5 years
• The PCA released its 2026 booth-selection timeline, adjusting access for both legacy and boutique brands
Why this matters:
Between tighter allocations, more small-batch production, and deeper focus on aged tobacco, brands are clearly leaning into differentiation beyond simple wrapper marketing.
Which of these developments do you think will have the biggest impact over the next few years?
