TPE 2011 Kicks Off in Las Vegas

By CSD Staff | March 3, 2011

E-cigarettes are a big trend on the show floor, with several new manufacturers showcasing electronic products.

The Tobacco Plus Expo International (TPE) opened in Las Vegas on March 2 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, bringing together a broad array of tobacco, tobacco products and accessories under one roof.

On the show floor, the major trend was e-cigarettes, with several manufacturers launching new e-cigarette products. Cigarillos were also prominently displayed at a number of booths.

The show runs through March 3, and is featuring more than 150 exhibitors, including more than 40 new exhibitors. TPE 2011 also is welcomeing exhibitors from across the world, including from  China, The Netherlands, Spain, Egypt, Taiwan, Sweden, Jordan and Canada.

TPE 2011 also marks  the debut of the TPE Masters Charity Golf Tournament, which was held on March 1, before the show officially opened. Each registrant enjoyed a light breakfast, practice play and 18 holes of golf at the Silverstone Golf Club. The day was capped off with an Awards Cocktail Reception and Charity Auction with proceeds benefiting the Cigar Rights of America, an organization playing an increasingly vital role in fighting for cigar smokers’ rights.

This year’s lineup of Conference Sessions is covering topics such as:
•Turning Your Tobacco Business into a Profitable Brand
•Cigars – A Perspective Seldom Seen
•Hire the Best Employees
•Special Events for New Business and Building Customer Loyalty

Internationally known cigar blender Jose Blanco of LaAurora is presenting  a class each day of the show about how various blends and fillers create a premium cigar recipe. His class is limited to ticket holders only.

The Premium Cigar Bar & Lounge, a comfortable area where attendees can gather to enjoy a complimentary beverage and enjoy a fine cigar, is again a feature of the show. Also, back by popular demand is the Spin & Win Wheel, which offers buyers the opportunity to try their luck at winning great prizes.
