Black Star Line Cigars will debut its newest release, the Eugene Bullard rolled by La Zona, which will premiere at the PCA Convention & Trade Show in 2026. This limited-production cigar honors the extraordinary legacy of Eugene Bullard, one of history’s most remarkable and often overlooked trailblazers.
Born in 1895, Bullard made history as the world’s first Black combat fighter pilot, serving with distinction for France during World War I. Before taking to the skies, he had already built a reputation as a professional boxer and later became a decorated war hero. His life embodied resilience, courage, and a refusal to accept limitations placed upon him. The Eugene Bullard cigar celebrates that same pioneering spirit.
Crafted with precision and bold character, the Eugene Bullard cigar features a 5 1/2 x 46 vitola and is constructed with a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaraguan filler. The blend delivers a balanced smoking experience designed for enthusiasts who appreciate complexity and rich flavor.
This release will be limited, with only 200 bundles produced for the first run, each containing 10 cigars. The cigar carries an MSRP of $13.50 per cigar, making it both a collectible and an accessible premium offering for retailers and consumers alike.
“Eugene Bullard’s story is one of perseverance and groundbreaking achievement,” said the team at Black Star Line Cigars. “We wanted to create a cigar that honors his legacy while continuing our mission to tell powerful stories through premium cigars.”
Retailers and media attending the PCA 2026 Trade Show will be able to experience the Eugene Bullard cigar firsthand at the Black Star Line Cigars booth.
