It’s only about a week late, but that will fit in nicely with an overview of the IPCPR trends. It was a good show and it definitely leaves me feeling uneasy about whether or not Orlando is ready for next year, but, time will tell. Lots of drama before, particularly on the new media side of things, but, once everyone got to Vegas it seemed as if everyone did what they were supposed to do. After the jump, a recap, some thoughts and that list. — el niño diablo.

Some thoughts…
- Record Sales All Over — Ranging from the smallest of manufacturers, to some of the largest names (cough, cough Oliva) it was beyond the normal “the show is going well.” Of course, take these at their word, but big and small, people were reporting their best show numbers of all time.
- The Rise of the Boutiques — A few boutiques stood out and seemed to be catching the attention of many. EloGio’s tiny booth was packed, Curivari seemed busy throughout, Sean Williams of El Primer Mundo was impossible to get ahold of for the first three days and La Caridad del Cobre reported a series of large orders. It’s clear, a larger number of retailers are looking to find the next big thing and have begun to pay attention to the small booths on the outskirts. Falto, AKA, Oja, Urbano and others were all names being mentioned throughout the show. I do wonder if the boutiques that chose not to be at the show ultimately made the right decision.
- The Consequence of LEs — Floods of limited editions have created one of the most intriguing phenomenons of the show, creativity. It’s not a matter of new releases, sizes, packaging, but distribution techniques. As I mentioned in the IPCPR Preview, there have been a host of releases that were released to a fraction of retailers exclusively before the show (Tatuaje Black Label Petit Lancero, La Sirena A, Oliva Serie V No. 4, My Uzi Weighs a Ton, A. Turrent Puro Corojo, Sencillo Black, Padilla La Terraza, Paul Garmirian Artisan’s Passion, etc…) However, there’s a lot of releases that have been shipped to a limited retailers after the show, before they go to national release. (Illusione ULTRA, Diamond Crown Torpedo #8, Illusione Maduro, Davidoff 100th Anniversary, Sencillo Black, Diamond Crown MAXIMUS Double Robusto #6, etc.) At the end of the day, manufacturers have to be able to reward and/or entice big retailers, and giving them exclusivity even for a week over a regular production is proving to be a successful alternative to having to make a LE, and the show solidified this as a common strategy.
- One Vitola, Two Vitola — I’m a bit confused why this has started, but manufacturers also seemed to get on the idea of releasing a single size of a blend before the rest of the line. Alec Bradley did this a few years ago with the Family Blend, which originally only came in Robusto and then added four more sizes later on, but this year the show featured numerous releases like this. Illusione’s ULTRA line is expected to ship in one size and then the other two, Davidoff is shipping one size of their 100th Anniversary size a month before the other and Perdomo’s Champagne Noir saw a full expansion from the original one size at the show. Drew Estate released the My Uzi Weighs a Ton in a single size to select accounts a month or so before the show, before offering the other two sizes later on and Jesus Fuego has packaged the Origen Maduro in sampler packs available in the Toro size, a preview for the full line in 2012. While there might be some strategic reasons beyond just marketing or testing, it does make the 2011 List a lot more difficult to keep accurate.
- The New Price Points — It seemed like much of 2009 and 2010 was about the $5 cigar, which continued up until the trade show last year. However, a lot of manufacturers have abandoned the competition for that price point and moved onto fill the gaps between the $5 price range and the heavily-populated $10 price point. Of course, there are notable exceptions, but the $6-$8 price point seemed to be where most of the new lines were heading towards this year, and significantly higher rate than last year.
- Delays — I mentioned it in the IPCPR preview, but there have already been quite a few delays that led to product being pushed back to the show, now the question is, for product that was not ready, but on display at the show, how much longer. Jason Wood seemed to indicate the La Aurora 107 Maduro was getting close, but there are quite a few blends that were not ready, but on display.
- Extension, Expansion — For the growing number that are suggesting that perhaps the cigar industry is seeing too many releases, the area of concern shouldn’t be the LEs, it should be extensions. In an effort to help sales of lines, manufacturers seem to be adopting a method of adding new sizes to already existing lines, and some of them at an alarming rate. E.P. Carrillo’s lines are now six and seven vitolas deep and even newer smaller manufactures like AKA and Pedro Martin have already announced extensions for lines that have been on the market for less than ninety days. The obvious concern is from a retail aspect, where humidors are largely already full and not getting larger.
- The best cigar at the show? I have not had every cigar at the show, and it’s extremely unlikely I will ever sample all of the new releases from the show. With that all being said, it’s very likely in my mind that the best cigar at the show was a cigar that wasn’t actually released, offered or formally shown off at the show. The best cigar I’ve had from Vegas was the NHC Capa Especial that Pete Johnson made for New Havana Cigars’ Dan Welsch. The lucky few that managed to get ahold of some of the seventy boxes made are in for a treat. Other notables include: Casa Magna Domus Magnus, Tatuaje La Casita Criolla, Illusione Epernay L’Alpinisto, Undercrown by Drew Estate and… J. Fuego’s Sangre de Toro Originals, which is the best cigar I’ve smoked that was released at the show to date.
Finally the list. This is not a complete list, that’s something one day I hope to be able to do, but there is just too much to cover, even in three full days. The regular 2011 List will be fully updated by next Tuesday, including a few releases that aren’t even on the IPCPR list. (For those wondering, there were five releases of the one-hundred and seventy that were on the pre-show list that were not at the show in any capacity…)

I am an editor and co-founder of halfwheel.com/Rueda Media, LLC. I previously co-founded and published TheCigarFeed, one of the two predecessors of halfwheel. I have written about the cigar industry for more than a decade, covering everything from product launches to regulation to M&A. In addition, I handle a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff here at halfwheel. I enjoy playing tennis, watching boxing, falling asleep to the Le Mans 24, wearing sweatshirts year-round and eating gyros. echte liebe.
