This is the most exciting time of year for the Cigar Industry. Formerly called the RTDA and now know as the International Premium Cigar and Pipe Retailers (IPCPR) Association, the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas was a blue cloud of smoke for three and a half days (practically the ONLY cloud of smoke in Las Vegas since last year's smoking ban) as retailers and manufacturers from around the United States and abroad gathered to participate in our annual industry trade show.

As a company, we were happy to be on hand with all of our brands including our most recent Winston Churchill brand. During Tuesday's show, we were even fortunate enough to have Sir Winston Churchill's grandson Winston S. Churchill in our "Churchill lounge" signing boxes and posing for pictures with our loyal partner merchants.

For me, this is always a welcomed occasion to spend not only with my fellow retailers and Davidoff co-workers, but with the other manufacturers that make the first class products I'm so proud to sell along with our own portfolio of products. Be sure to stay tuned to this newsletter and be in direct touch with our New York team for the newest arrivals from the show.

As always, please don't hesitate to contact us directly with any questions.

Always at your service,

Michael Herklots
