 La Plage du Festival was the venue for last night’s ‘Masters Evening’ at the TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes, France, where Neuhaus, Flor de Caña and Oettinger Davidoff AG teamed up again to entertain 300 guests to an evening of gourmet experiences and fine cigar enjoyment.

 

The premium event held just off the famous Cannes Croisette saw guests pampered with various hors d’oeuvres, pralines, chocolates and rum-based cocktails, complimented by Davidoff’s new cigar line – Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour – which is said to have been received very well by the invited attendee aficionados.

 

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DUTY FREE CHANNEL

“Our Masters’ Evening underlines once more the importance of our presence and brand performance in duty free”, said Oettinger Davdioff’s CEO, Beat Hauenstein.

“Davidoff is, and will remain, the indispensable business partner for travellers and aficionados across the globe,” he said.

 

Oettinger Davidoff’s Senior Vice President Europe and Duty Free Martin Kaufmann added: “The Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour cigars are inspired by Sir Winston Churchill, one of the most celebrated cigar lovers in history.

“We are very excited about the result and hope it will open up the cigar aficionado’s world to new tastes and rewarding experiences,” he said.

 

Once again, all three partners teamed up to provide a suitable environment in which to talk freely with their invited business partners without interruptions, while also sharing pleasant interaction with others.

 

This is now the fourth special event of this kind organised in Cannes by the three hosts who all agreed that it was held ‘in a most remarkable setting’.
