Korean Launch for Confidenciaal

By

It was a cold and starry night which saw Eric Piras & Antoine Riberet in their best striped suits and Panama hats, hosting the event of the year in Seoul: the launch of Confidenciaal cigars in Korea. 

Set in the famed Pierre Cigar Lounge, the evening was a perfect blend of seasoned passionados and new-comers to the epicurean pleasure of cigar smoking, as well as a nice number of ladies… some of them enjoying the first (and second!) cigar of their life during the event. 

Drinks and volutes kept flowing, nicely matched by the tunes of a young jazz band, for the perfect enjoyment of the guests, pleasantly surprised by the unusual event theme and concept of the Prohibition. 

Eric Piras says “I could not have imagined a more successful launch in Seoul; the enthusiasm in sharing Confidenciaal’s secret is very strong; people are curious and interested and the market is highly receptive”. 

Matthias Reuben Cohen-Aknine, CEO of Pierre Ltd says “We are really looking forward to developing Confidenciaal; we believe the brand is very well suited to Korea, and we are launching it at an ideal moment!”

Introducing Camacho Broadleaf

By

Camacho Cigars is excited to announce a new line to its portfolio: Camacho Broadleaf. 

The distinctive feature of Camacho’s newest cigar line is its oversized Honduran Broadleaf wrapper packed with giant flavor and crafted with precision and passion. In the brand’s quest for excellence, no corners were cut: Decades of expertise and Honduran craftsmanship converged to produce the new addition to the offering. 

“I am thrilled with the amazing work our Master Blenders in Honduras have done. They created a cigar line which is not only excellent in taste, but also bold and fearless in attitude – exactly what our aficionados are searching for”, says Edward Simon, CMO at Oettinger Davidoff. “The darker Broadleaf wrapper in particular adds a lot of excitement to the cigar experience, as it endows every format with an oily, almost silky appearance and a creamy note to the taste profile.” 

The cigar with the dark and oily Broadleaf wrapper features a diverse blend of tobaccos from Honduras and the Dominican Republic.

Camacho Broadleaf will be available in 20-count boxes of Robusto, Toro and Gordo and come with eye- catching bands which highlight a fearless and daring Honduran spirit. 

Launch & availability
The new Camacho Broadleaf line will be available* as of 21 July 2023 for the US market. The launch for Germany and Switzerland is on 15 September 2023.
