Garo Cigars Celebrates 30th Anniversary with New Limited-Edition Release at PCA 2025

February 24, 2025 Inspector X 2 min read

Garo Cigars is marking a significant milestone in 2025—30 years since Dr. Garo Bouldakian founded his boutique cigar brand. To commemorate the occasion, the company is set to debut a special limited-edition line at the 2025 PCA Convention & Trade Show in mid-April.

A Tribute to Tradition and Craftsmanship

For three decades, we have been dedicated to the artistry, tradition, and passion of cigar making,” Garo Cigars stated in its announcement. “This milestone is not just a celebration of our journey but a tribute to the rich culture that unites generations of enthusiasts. We love being a part of this resilient industry and the people within its community.

This anniversary release showcases a carefully curated blend designed to reflect the company’s legacy of quality craftsmanship. The cigar features an Ecuadorian Habano Carmelita wrapper, an Indonesian binder, and a filler blend comprising Pennsylvanian tobacco, Dominican Piloto Cubano, and select Nicaraguan leaves. The company describes it as a medium-to-full-bodied cigar with a refined complexity that evolves throughout the smoking experience.

Three Vitolas, Limited Production

The Garo 30th Anniversary cigars will be available in three sizes, each packaged in 25-count boxes:
• Garo 30th Anniversary 7 x 47 — $17.60 (Box of 25: $440)
• Garo 30th Anniversary 4 3/4 x 52 — $16.00 (Box of 25: $400)
• Garo 30th Anniversary 5 1/2 x 42 — $14.40 (Box of 25: $360)

Manufactured at Tabacalera Cinco Estrella in Tamboril, Dominican Republic, production is limited to just 500 boxes per vitola, making these cigars a sought-after collector’s item for enthusiasts and aficionados alike.

Honouring a Legacy of Excellence

As we mark our 30th anniversary, we recognize the unwavering support of our loyal customers, devoted artisans, and passionate members within the community. Here’s to 30 years of excellence—and to many more to come!” the company expressed in its press release.

The Garo 30th Anniversary cigars are expected to begin shipping one to two weeks after the PCA Convention & Trade Show, scheduled for April 11-14 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Distribution will be handled by SZ Wholesale, ensuring availability for retailers eager to stock this commemorative release.

For those attending PCA 2025, this celebratory release will be an opportunity to experience a cigar that embodies three decades of dedication to craftsmanship and innovation. Stay tuned for more updates as the launch date approaches!
