Description

Total Product Expo kicked off with "Leadership of the Leaf" hosts, Austin and Dice, attending the Las Vegas convention for the tobacco industry. Despite featuring diverse products, the event rebranded to Total Product Expo. The expo, highlighted as a B2B trade show on their website, brings together manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, offering a platform to showcase products, connect with buyers, attend seminars, network, and boost sales for the year.

"Leadership of the Leaf" shifted focus to cigars, starting with an interaction at the Drew Estate booth. Matty introduced a sampler pack, but Plasencia's booth lacked engagement, prompting exploration of other exhibits. Miguel at Crown Heads was engaging, sharing insights on the Ozenger family and their cigar lineup. The EP Carrillo booth delved into the history of their cigars, featuring a return of the Pledge of Allegiance cigar. Arista shared captivating stories about the Big Papi cigar lineup.

The first day concluded successfully, culminating in an industry party. Austin and Dice enjoyed a 20 Acre Farm cigar from Drew Estate, with their thoughts teased for the end. Stay tuned for day two highlights in the next episode.
