The Premium Cigar Association (PCA), the leading authority in advocacy for specialty tobacco retailers, has teamed up with HumidifGroup for a special project–a unique humidor. This humidor, named The Cloakroom, is an elegant luxury humidor that is influenced by the monuments and architecture seen around the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. Only 25 of these unique humidors have been made for release this year, with one being kept for display within the PCA’s office in Washington, D.C.
The Cloakroom refers to a phrase used by Members of Congress for a place within the U.S. Capitol where cigars are smoked. This 50-capacity humidor features a pristine white, marble-like, high-gloss lacquer finish with exquisite gold details. This will be a humidor fit for longtime supporters of the PCA and those looking for a statement piece for their home or office. The lid is adorned with an embossed PCA logo displayed in gold, while the front center of the humidor showcases vertical grooves that are painted in rich gold, reminiscent of historic columns. The custom metal handles, also in gold, are engraved with “PCA” and add a touch of sophistication to each side.
The inside of the humidor is just as impressive as its exterior. The PCA logo and HumidifGroup’s NFC authentication technology are displayed on the inner lid. With a tap of a mobile device, the NFC tag will reveal the humidor’s unique serial number, confirming its exclusivity as one of only 25 PCA 2025 humidors. Each humidor includes five trays fitted with gold handles that can each hold 10 cigars. The humidor also has personalized humidifiers, thermometers, and hinges that all feature the PCA logo. Each humidor is packaged in a protective white box and a velvet/felt bag, both bearing the PCA logo in gold.
“PCA is proud to partner with HumidifGroup for this unique project that captures the quintessential Washington D.C. style in a subtle way and serves as a functional piece of luxury and rarity,” stated Joshua Habursky, executive director of the PCA. “Whether it be premium cigars or accessories, any collaboration with our member companies that bares the PCA logo must exude excellence. Our team had the pleasure to tour the Cigar Box Factory in Estelí to ensure the utmost quality and craftsmanship in this collector’s item.”
“We are honored to collaborate with the PCA’s incredible team on this exclusive piece, blending tradition with innovation to create something truly special for PCA members, collectors, and cigar aficionados,” commented Pierre Jebian, division director of HumidifGroup USA. “At HumidifGroup, we take pride in designing packaging and accessories that are both functional and unique works of art. We are proudly developing this humidor at Cigar Box Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, the heart of the tobacco industry. We are authenticating each of the 25 humidors with our HGTag platform. The Cloakroom stands as a symbol of our dedication to exceptional quality, innovative design, and the shared passion we have for the tobacco industry.”
The Cloakroom sales proceeds will support the PCA’s Industry Defense Fund, established to support the organization’s ongoing advocacy efforts to defend the premium tobacco industry. These special humidors will be filled with exclusive premium cigars handcrafted by a leading manufacturer, with details on the cigars to come during this year’s trade show. The Cloakroom will be on display and offered for auction during the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA25) trade show in New Orleans, April 11-14, 2025.
