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: \u201eLast 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.\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"yoast-reading-time__wrapper\"><span class=\"yoast-reading-time__icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-icon=\"clock\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" style=\"display:inline-block;vertical-align:-0.1em\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" stroke-width=\"2\" d=\"M12 8v4l3 3m6-3a9 9 0 11-18 0 9 9 0 0118 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"yoast-reading-time__spacer\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:1em\"><\/span><span class=\"yoast-reading-time__reading-time\">4<\/span><span class=\"yoast-reading-time__time-unit\"> minutes<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#titel-1\" data-level=\"2\">Growth and responsibility<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-neu-tempura\" data-level=\"2\">New: Tempura<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-danke-zigarren-zone\" data-level=\"2\">\u201eThank you Cigars.zone!\u201c<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-was-meinst-du-dazu\" data-level=\"2\">What do you think?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#ressourcen-zum-thema\" data-level=\"2\">Resources on the topic and buying cigars<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"362\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/00-Pic-Oliver-Lampe.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71534\" style=\"width:150px;height:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/00-Pic-Oliver-Lampe.png 362w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/00-Pic-Oliver-Lampe-13x12.png 13w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 362px) 100vw, 362px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-style-large has-small-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The author behind these articles is Oliver - survivalist, winter griller, TV fuzzie from Bonn.
