I was wanting to know if any major wholesalers were carrying this product (Ruyan) as of date. Any major retailers take on the product?

To Cig Guy: I saw the Commonwealth booth, brand new and big and shiny. It might be that the reason Altadis wasn’t there was because Commonwealth spent all the show dough on their booth! I heard the parent owes a few bucks after the Altadis purchase.

Yeah OTP Kid what was that all about and they accepted an award also. Pretty lame deal there. You know what they say out of sight out mind. Gotta think Swisher, Swedish, JM(PM) and Royal Blunt folks had a smirk on their faces. Probably will show in there business in the future. I was always under the impression that the cigar companies did exceptionally well in the tobacco outlet channel!

Altadis was no where to be found boothwise. I saw them hanging out in the hookah booth.

Anyone know what retailers have taken on the e-cigarette. Saw an article recently in the WSJ on the product. Looks like they are getting some real good press.

Wanted to impart my thoughts on a show that I always find as informative. I walked away from this show with a glimpse of the future. New product entries as well as new players in the industry. Always felt in the past that this show gave the buyer that attended the show an advantage and I’s say this is still the case.
