At InterTabac in Dortmund, we met Sebastien from Cavalier Cigars in his own «booth» at the Kopp stand - for the first time in years. But there is a reason for this comeback. Years ago, Cavalier Cigars started with its own stand, but after that it was quiet around the brand for a while, at least at the trade fair. Instead, the company focussed on appointments and meetings with partners. This year, however, it was time for the company to have its own presence again. Sebastien tells us: „Last year it felt more difficult without our own stand. Our partners in Germany, Kopp, kindly offered us extra space to exhibit this year and we took the opportunity.“

Growth and responsibility

However, with the company's growth comes responsibility. Cavalier Cigars, still a young company, now sells in over 42 countries, from Europe to North America and Asia. „We are growing, and with growth comes challenges. It was time for a change,“ explains Sebastien. The collaboration with Kopp marks another important step in this development. „InterTabac is an opportunity to spend time with our partners. It's the only time of the year when we can actually see each other and exchange ideas.“

The trade fair was a success for Sebastien and his team, even if it was exhausting: „I'm tired,“ he admits with a laugh. The reason for this? „People come and go, you're constantly in dialogue. It's more intense, but it's also fun.“ Despite the hustle and bustle, the trade fair was a complete success for Cavalier Cigars.

New: Tempura

This year, the company presented several new products, including the „Tempuras“, a new line of cigars that Sebastien proudly describes as „a special format“. „We launched it at the PCA in the USA in March and have now introduced it here in Europe. It's about offering consumers not just a cigar, but also the story and meaning behind it.“

Finally, Sebastien had warm words for Zigarren.Zone and the whole community: „I love what you do and what you bring to the industry. I have great memories of when I was just starting out and getting to know you guys. We look forward to sharing more content with you in the future.“

An entertaining and informative conversation that shows the importance of relationships and continued growth in the cigar industry. Cavalier Cigars has proven that they are not just a brand, but also a family that works with passion and commitment to their products and partners.
