E.P. Carrillo was one of the busier companies at the 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. For the past few years, much of the focus has been on the premium Perez-Carrillo line. During this year's Trade Show, E.P. Carrillo showcased their latest cigar, the Encore Black, and unveiled a new six-cigar blend lineup called the Essence Series. These blends are now a regular production offering and a new core series for the company. Despite receiving many accolades over the years, it's clear that E.P. Carrillo is not a company that rests on its laurels.

The theme for J.C. Newman Cigar Company at the 2024 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show was sports. That is because J.C. Newman Cigar Company had two sports-themed releases. First up, J.C. Newman showcased a second installment of the LeRoy Neiman Collector’s Series that draws inspiration from the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Second is a special release honoring the defunct minor league baseball team, the Tampa Smokers. Since J.C. Newman’s El Reloj factory is located in Ybor City, Tampa, the company’s history is entwined with the history of Tampa, so it is appropriate to honor this team. Both the LeRoy Neiman Collector’s Edition and Tampa Smokers cigars are rolled at the El Reloj factory. Additionally, J.C. Newman again brought its cardboard replica of the El Reloj factory to its space at the show.
