IPCPR 2010: Davidoff

No disrespect toward anyone else, but the folks at Davidoff were some of the nicest at the show. Danielle and Michael made themselves and their product accessible, perhaps like no other, and Danielle’s tour through the booth was extensive to say the least. There are a lot brands in the Davidoff family and there were quite a few releases on the cigar front, but the focus of the namesake was the already-released Puro d’Oro and the new accessories for the year. Some that stood out: S.T. Dupont’s first white lacquer lighter made for Davidoff, a palladium cased humidor and the ashtrays. The hospitality in the booth from the baby grand, Zino Lounge or just the Davidoffreps themselves was second to none.

And my two favorite pictures of the show…
