We officially launched our first offline event at the Highland Whisky Bar in Guangzhou on 30th May. Cigar aficionados and whisky lovers gathered for an afternoon of smoky pleasures and evocative conversations.
Teaming up with Davidoff Cigars, the highlight of the event was undeniably the debut of Davidoff Cigars’ newest limited release, the Davidoff Maduro. Attendees had the chance to savour this intricate and robust blend paired with a fine dram of Loch Lomond Whisky. The exclusive tasting experience was guided by Vinson Zhang, the Marketing and Business Development Director at Davidoff of Geneva.
The bar event was more than just about blowing smoke rings, although there may have been a few of those too! Vinson hosted an engaging Q&A session where he answered questions about the secrets of Davidoff Maduro and the art of the perfect cigar and whisky pairing with the expertise of a seasoned maestro. It was an educational and lively exchange that fuelled a deeper appreciation for the world of premium cigars among our guests.
We added some excitement to the event by organising a lucky draw with great prizes: the Davidoff The Difference Glass Set, the Davidoff White Ritual Set, and the impressive Afidano Year of the Dragon Humidor. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation as we drew names, adding a touch of friendly competition to the already thrilling event. The afternoon was a great success, thanks to our sponsors Loch Lomond and Afidano Humidors.
News of our inaugural event even reached the discerning palate of a prominent Douyin influencer, CIGAR ROOM! Their presence not only added a touch of celebrity flair but also solidified nextCIGAR's position as a leading platform for the Guangzhou cigar community. It was a true validation of our efforts!
This first event began nextCIGAR’s journey into the cigar scene in China, fostering a vibrant atmosphere with a promise of future evenings filled with delectable smokes, insightful conversations and the change to connect with fellow aficionados. This was just the first chapter, and we can't wait to write the rest with you. Here's to many more smoky adventures together!
