This issue is jam-packed with editorial coverage from more than 13 different premium cigar and tobacco companies, including our cover feature with entrepreneur and visionary, Jonathan Drew, president and co-founder of Drew Estate and the recently launched John Drew Brands. We have a special interview with Mark Pursell, CEO of the IPCPR, where he discusses the current work and focus of the IPCPR beyond the trade show. Our spirits writer, Nick Douglas, writes on the timely topic of established heritage brands and why your store’s humidor needs these cigars and products in stock. We also have a “Best of Las Vegas” feature that includes inside information on where to smoke so you can enjoy your favorite cigars after the IPCPR show or during your next trip to Vegas.
Tobacco Business and its parent company Tobacco Media Group (TMG) are serious about helping you stay ahead of the FDA and other challenges your business will face. Our magazine and trade show, the TPE, provide you with the information and resources needed to be successful in today’s marketplace. Despite the FDA, we’re excited about what’s ahead. The magazine is breaking barriers, and we’ve got some exciting things planned for it and the TPE coming up—including the announcement that Jonathan Drew himself will not only be at TPE 2018 but will be our keynote speaker come January. Visit us at IPCPR Booth #2170 to learn more about the magazine and TPE 2018 and how you can be part of both. When it comes to helping you achieve success and navigate through all the changes happening to our industry, we mean business.
