To celebrate this year’s TFWA World Exhibition, Fauchon, Flor de Caña, Neuhaus and Oettinger Davidoff AG invited 300 guests to an elegant Master’s Evening at the Plage du Festival on the Croisette, Monday 27 October.

 

In the spirit of their campaign strapline ‘Time Beautifully Filled’, guests were treated to a culinary soirée featuring gourmet appetizers, foie gras-orientated main courses, and a selection of pralines and chocolates to finish.

 

Rum cocktails and a Calypso band lent the evening a relaxed Caribbean flavour, which was rounded off with Nicaragua Diadema cigars, recently launched from the Davidoff Nicaragua line.

 

The aim of the event, organized by the Swiss Oettinger Davidoff AG and its partners, was to encourage business partners and cigar aficionados from around the globe to enjoy the opportunity to chat with colleagues in an informal setting without interruption.

 

As Oettinger Davidoff AG CEO Hans-Kristian Hoejsgaard charmingly explained, “Pleasure is always a luxury, but luxury is not always a pleasure.”
