CAA members Terry Gallagher, CEO of Smoker Friendly, and Greg Fox, CEO of Best Cigar Prices, are busy executives who operate in different areas of our industry. But they share similar views about our common enterprise, including the need to work together to ensure a bright future for all of us. For Terry’s company, that long view has included running the popular Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival, a consumer-focused multi-brand event that’s brought 2,500+ people to Colorado annually for more than a decade.
In a different part of the country, Greg’s organization is pursuing a similar vision of the future. Best Cigar Prices recently announced their inaugural Smoke-onos Cigar Festival, also a consumer-based multi-brand event that will bring 900 people to Pennsylvania from across the U.S., with a promise to increase that number in future years.
Greg wisely reached out to Terry for guidance, and Terry didn’t hesitate to provide whatever assistance he could, even offering to fly across the country to be onsite for the festivities. With support like this, there’s no doubt that we’ll have another successful festival to add visibility to our industry. And with friendships like the one forged between Terry and Greg, it’s clear that cigars will continue to bring people together.
