I reckon this was something like the 16th or 17th IPCPR (previously RTDA) trade show I have attended in the USA and this is the second time I have been to the show in New Orleans. he show was HUGE!!! and I love seeing all the manufacturers of cigars and accessories, as well as trade colleagues not to mention learn about all the new cigars and other products coming to the market. In fact the show is so huge, despite being there for 5 days I still didn't manage to meet up with everyone I had planned (sorree).
There used to be a trade association in the UK that put on a rather miserable looking annual trade show. I'm not sure if they do it any more as I gave up going out of sheer boredom some years ago and prefer to attend International trade shows instead.
I only spotted two other cigar specialists at the show from the UK- Paresh Patel from Regal Cigars and Simon Jackson from My Smoking Shop, both thoroughly professional merchants and top chaps! No one else from the UK?! Excellent, that leaves it pretty clear for me to keep importing new stock lines and passing all the savings over to our customers - job done :)

The first stand I stopped at was Daniel Marshall humidors. I think I made Daniel's day as I gave him his first order of the show! Awesome boxes, store in style :) Click here to see our full range of Daniel Marshall humidors! More designs coming soon.
Great to see the Xikar range growing year on year and looking forward to an even larger range online very soon - see our Xikar range here!
We're excited about the possibility of introducing La Palina cigars to the UK market and we plan to add to our existing Nat Sherman range, as I found a cracker of a smoke that I will be importing to the UK very soon. I love Nat Sherman and it's my favourite shop to visit when I'm in NYC.I bumped into Daniel who used to work at Turmeaus Mayfair and was very happy to see how well he's doing at Mombacho Cigars. I even found a cracking little cigar in their range that I fancy bringing in to the UK in the next few weeks.
