The Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee
was the site of the 66th Annual Retail Tobacco Dealers of America (RTDA)
Convention and International Trade Show. Here are sneak
peeks of some of the more interesting new
cigars offered during this year's RTDA convention. You should be expecting
these to hit your favorite retailer's shelves soon.
(August 1998: Havana, Cuba) After what
seems to be a few false starts... or certainly some very precocious launch
announcements, Habanos s.a. has decided to delay the worldwide distribution
of three special new cigars:
The MONTECRISTO ROBUSTO, the COHIBA PIRAMIDE
and the CUABA CELESTIAL.
(July 1998: Havana, Cuba) Habanos s.a.,
the tobacco/cigar marketing arm of the Cuban government, is beginning the
process of launching yet another new brand
of cigars for the world market.
