The Premium Cigar Association (PCA) has officially launched its new online merchandise store, giving retailers, manufacturers, and consumers a new way to show their support for the leading trade association representing the premium cigar and pipe industry. Profits from the store will directly fund PCA’s ongoing advocacy efforts at both the federal and state levels.
The PCA Merch Store features a growing collection of apparel, accessories, and lifestyle items branded with PCA’s logo and messaging. Each purchase not only helps spread awareness of the organization’s mission but also contributes to the resources needed to protect and advance the premium cigar industry against overregulation and harmful legislation. The association would like to thank Claudio Torres of Kingmakers and the Alliance Subcommittee for initiating this project in conjunction with the PCA staff.
“Our mission to protect the premium cigar industry depends on the support of our members and allies,” commented Joshua Habursky, Executive Director of the PCA. “The PCA Merch Store gives everyone in the industry—from retailers to cigar enthusiasts—a tangible way to chip in. This is the phase 1 launch of the store with plans to expand merchandising collaborations where our retail members can co-brand with their shop/lounge logo and contests where we can showcase the artisanry and creative nature of the industry through limited edition apparel and collectibles.”
The launch of the PCA Merch Store comes at a time when the association is actively engaged in critical battles across the country, from defeating tax increases to fighting for reasonable regulations. By wearing and using PCA-branded merchandise, supporters can spark conversations about the importance of preserving the premium cigar tradition and the brick-and-mortar retail experience. The store also features alliance merchandise and products featuring the Women of PCA.
The PCA Merch Store is now live and accessible at https://pcastore.printify.me/. New items will be added regularly, with seasonal collections and limited-edition releases planned.
