And here we are. The documentation Jonathan Drew has been waiting for, the IPCPR releases. It’s another list, this time just the IPCPR releases. It’s not the 175 I personally thought we would be at, but 170 is still a lot. Even for someone that spends countless hours researching new releases, the overall number is shocking, and this is just what I know of right now. There will be more.
A few final thoughts before the show…
- Too Much? — There’s a lot of releases scheduled for the show and it seems like there is a growing number of people on the manufacturing side of things that are beginning to complain. Much of it is a bit of an exercise in irony, as most of the manufacturers complaining about the high number of new releases, are in fact releasing quite a few new cigars themselves. (But) What’s been more interesting is that in conversations with reps from various companies this past week, almost all seem to be a bit concerned with the new releases their respective brands are showing off, and more importantly, how to sell them. The biggest problem with the three-hundred plus releases on the 2011 cigars release list is not the total number, but the lack of discontinuations. Few companies have been willing to shed lines, which seems ridiculous given the disproportionate rate new lines are being introduced at, particularly because the amount of cigar smokers is not going up at any substantial rate. (Retail) Humidors are not getting larger, so expect more stuff on the floor, tables or counter.
- The Delays — I mentioned this in the Editor’s Note of the Weekly News this past week, but much of the tremendous amount of new releases is due to delays of products that were scheduled for earlier in the year. Perhaps it’s the first year where this has been extensively publicly documented, but there’s quite a collection of IPCPR releases that were scheduled for April, May and June. Delays are common in the cigar industry, but it seemed like 2011 had a bit more of them in the Spring. In addition, many releases have been done on limited basis and are receiving national releases at IPCPR. (Think Tatuaje Black Label Petit Lancero, La Sirena A, Oliva Serie V No. 4, A. Turrent Triple Corojo, Sencillo Black, Perdomo La Terraza, etc.)
- The Integration — This year will see a few brands integrating into other booths as part of mergers. Most prominent is Davidoff whose lengthy booth will house AVO, Camacho, Cusano, Davidoff, Room 101 and Zino in one space. CAO will be right next to the General Cigar Co.’s main booth and Sam Leccia will move into Toraño Family Cigar Co.’s booth, although Graycliff’s booth is located far away from its U.S. distributor. It’s a visual representation of the increased integration that is taking place, and I suspect next year will be no different.
- The Legal Battles — A few industry insiders have commented to me that they are interested to see the retailers’ reactions to the two major legal battles (the El Rey de Los Habanos lawsuit & the Sam Leccia/Oliva Non-Compete). Many retailers likely are unaware, and show gossip, is well… show gossip. Whatever the case, expect all those in any way involved (and then some) to be fielding questions.
- The Importance — After last year’s IPCPR I penned an article questioning the future of the IPCPR show, it seems the “Vegas cures all” explanation hasn’t held true. Many shops and a few (mostly smaller) manufacturers are choosing to not even be in Vegas, which raises questions about the importance of IPCPR. Two weeks before the show I received show pricing lists and they’ve been flowing to retailers ever since. If you keep scrolling you will see that there is no shortage of new product at the IPCPR show, so the question must be raised again: how importance is the IPCPR show in its current form?
And what you’ve been waiting for… Formatting is a bit different than the regular list, enjoy. — el niño diablo.
