"TPE 2011 was an awesome experience. This show had a great vibe - the staff was very helpful and organized, the exhibitors were professional and friendly, and the customers in attendance were active buyers genuinely interested in doing business. All in all - great show. Only wish we had one more day!"

"The Tobacco Plus Expo has proven to be a successful yet fun show for us. We never leave the Expo without meeting new customers and spending quality time with our current customers. We also enjoy being able to see our manufacturing friends. The Expo feels like our favorite family reunion! Cigar Cid loved taking pictures with everyone and can't wait for next year!"

"That’s what I call good Teamwork; TPE did an awesome job bringing customers to the Show, and we did a great job selling our products to them at the show."

Nichole Mowrey
Senior Executive Sales Representative
New Image Global, Inc

"We were extremely pleased with the attendance at the 2011 TPE Expo. We took a record number of orders at this year's show and secured numerous new distributors who took advantage of our show specials by placing sizable orders on the show floor. Since we have returned home, we have continued to acquire new distributors we met at TPE Expo 2011. TPE Expo 2012 can't get here soon enough!"

Joey Bowen – President, Sales & Marketing
RSB Tobacco

"The Tobacco Plus Expo was easily the best move for our growing company, it took us to the next level. The show gave us the opportunity to market our new product to a large range of tobacco businesses across the US which we would have to spend tens of thousands in marketing to reach normally. In 2 days at the Tobacco Plus Expo we were able to make our company DOKHA a player in what is well established industry. We came into the show expecting simply to get the word out, but it quickly turned into an extremely profitable decision and we will be attending every Tobacco Plus Expo show moving forward."

Mustafah Shah – Co-Founder
DOKHA

"The best TPE show of the last 10 years. Lots of new customers that were first time attendees of TPE."

Jeff Abel – President
Mitchell Thomas Trading Co.

"For us, the 2011 TPE Show was more successful than we had expected. Of the orders that we wrote at the Show, at least half were from new customers. The Show’s organizers did a great service to all attendees and exhibitors by providing beverages on the Show floor. The location of food vendors just outside the Show floor was also a great benefit. We will definitely be exhibiting at the 2012 Show!"
