The Traveling Cigar Road Show was started in 2020, when the PCA Trade Show was canceled due to COVID. The Road Show was created by Rocky Patel, Altadis U. S. A., CLE, and Oliva, and it's hitting the road again.
The Traveling Cigar Road Show is essentially a trade show on wheels, bringing the cigar brands directly to the retailers. It's meant to highlight new cigars, give a streamlined process for retailers to order cigars, and give brands an even bigger reach into the cigar community.

In other news, Rocky Patel will not be enacting any price increased on his lines. However, there will be a price increase on his Java lines. The Java lines will have a price increase of 70-75 cents per cigar. While a majority of Rocky Patel Cigars are not getting a price increase, those who smoke the Java lines will have to shop accordingly, and be mindful of the price increase.
