Episode 145: Joshua Habursky Executive Director of the PCA
James and Nick welcome the Executive Director of the Premium Cigar Association, Joshua Habursky. The trio discuss the big wins for the cigar industry so far in 2025, and the importance of being vigilant against government overreach. Josh explains how the PCA, CRA, and CAA have all worked together to keep the government from taking the choice to smoke hand rolled, premium cigars away from informed adults. The discussion also turns to state advocacy, generational smoking bans, bipartisan support and challenges, and how the fight is at the state level. Of course, there is talk of the PCA Convention and Trade Show in New Orleans this year in April. We find out how long the show will be held in New Orleans, when it heads back to Las Vegas, and much more!!!
