In late October, we set up shop in Zurich, on Löwenstrasse, for the eleventh edition of the Feria del Tabaco organized by Manuel’s. For the occasion, Great O Legacy Distribution had a booth entirely dedicated to Arturo Fuente. And for the Dominican brand, it was a first: Arturo Fuente had never participated in this fair before.
A store packed to the brim
For the past eleven years, Manuel Fröhlich and his team have been transforming their store into a trade show for a weekend. Across three floors, nine manufacturers showcase their latest products, and enthusiasts come to discover them directly from the people who bring them to life. The formula has proven successful: by Friday evening, some 140 tickets had already been sold, and the store was constantly bustling with visitors.
That’s exactly what we love about this event: direct contact—without any middlemen—with curious, discerning enthusiasts who are delighted to take the time to taste the wines.
Arturo Fuente Featured at our booth
At our booth, visitors had the opportunity to discover and sample several of our cigars, including the Magnum Rosado 52—a highly aromatic cigar with the length of a Toro and a generous ring gauge—as well as two cigars wrapped in the famous Cameroon wrapper: the Gran Reserva Natural Rothschild and the Hemingway Work of Art. These last two were enjoyed with great pleasure throughout the fair.
The Swiss magazine *Cigar* also praised the arrival of the “Dominican cult brand” in its coverage of the event, “Die Stars von morgen.”
Thank you!
A big thank you to Manuel Fröhlich and the entire team at Manuel’s for their warm welcome and the impeccable organization of this event, as well as to everyone who stopped by to see us, share a cigar, and chat aboutArturo Fuente.
Online voting by visitors—which determines the best cigar at the Feria each year—opens after the fair: if you were there, don’t forget to cast your vote. And we hope to see you again very soon to enjoy our cigars Arturo Fuente!
