PCA 2021: Dapper Cigar Co.

When we’re talking open concept booths, the design Dapper Cigar Co. uses is one of the easiest to navigate. Made up of a central display and storage area, surrounded by tables to sit down with retailers, it is also very easy to photograph.

One of the things I particularly liked about its booth is the neon sign logo you see in the featured image. Unfortunately, it doesn’t translate well on camera, with the colors of the sign getting washed out to get the rest of the booth exposed well.

La Madrina Shade

The La Madrina is getting a Connecticut shade blend counterpart. It will have the same three sizes as the original La Madrina with the addition of a Belicoso.
