The announcement was published on the official PCA website. The PCA is based in the United States and PROCIGAR is based in the Dominican Republic. The agreement is positioned within the context of upcoming industry events, including the PCA Trade Show & Convention in New Orleans, United States.

The Premium Cigar Association serves as a trade organization representing retailers, manufacturers, and stakeholders in the premium cigar market, with activities focused on education, advocacy, and industry development. PROCIGAR is a Dominican association of premium cigar producers that promotes quality standards, heritage, and global industry presence.

The partnership includes collaborative efforts such as PROCIGAR’s participation in the PCA Trade Show & Convention, shared promotional initiatives coordinated with Dominican government authorities and PROCIGAR member companies, and PCA’s delegation attendance at the PROCIGAR Festival. These activities provide structured opportunities for industry engagement across markets.

What it means for the industry

The agreement formalizes institutional collaboration between two major regional industry organizations, potentially supporting coordinated programs in education, advocacy, and event participation. By aligning initiatives, both associations reinforce cross‑market engagement in a segment that relies on global collaboration among manufacturers, retailers, and industry partners.

Confirmed next steps include PROCIGAR’s scheduled presence at the 2026 PCA Trade Show & Convention in New Orleans, as well as a Dominican‑inspired reception hosted in partnership with PCA. A PCA delegation will also attend the PROCIGAR Festival, underlining ongoing collaboration between the associations.
