With our PCA 2021 Convention & Trade Show coverage shuffled around slightly this year, I am covering the Falto Cigars for the first time. I like the booth layout, and while I understand the functionality of the walled seating areas to create a quieter environment to do business, it did make photographing the whole booth in one picture a little more difficult.
In the end, it’s not really a big deal, since this show isn’t about photographs, it’s about doing business. If my brief visit is any indicator though, the Falto crew are gracious hosts, offering espresso and comfortable couches to sit down while we discussed the new releases.
