Beginning today, the premium cigar industry is gathering in New Orleans for the Premium Cigar Association’s (PCA) annual trade show, taking place over the next four days at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
The PCA trade show is the most significant annual event in the premium cigar industry and serves as the central meeting place for manufacturers from around the world and retailers from across the United States, and beyond, to preview new products and strengthen business relationships.
Beyond the business and product side of the industry, the trade show is also a key moment for advocacy and engagement. The event offers an important opportunity to connect directly with Cigar Rights of America’s team and learn more about the work being done to protect and advance the interests of the premium cigar community. From state-level legislative challenges and local regulatory proposals to federal policy debates and trade issues, CRA continues to serve as the leading voice advocating for premium cigar retailers, manufacturers, and consumers nationwide.
CRA will be on site throughout the show, and we encourage all attendees to stop by and visit us. You can find the CRA team at Booth 4857 and Booth 4040. Our team will be available to discuss recent legislative developments, ongoing policy challenges, and opportunities for engagement in the year ahead.
We look forward to connecting with all of our Great American Cigar Shops, industry partners, and all stakeholders attending this year’s show.
If you’re attending, please stop by to say hello, renew your membership or join CRA, find out about the latest CRA freedom sampler, and learn more about how CRA is working every day to support small businesses and defend the premium cigar industry.
