The cigar market in Turkey is anything but easy; nevertheless, Turkish passionados are extremely open and curious when it comes to new brands.<\/p>\n
On 3 June, more than 65 passionados gathered in Istanbul to celebrate the fact that Oliva and Nub cigars have been made available for a while now in Turkey.<\/p>\n
In addition to tasting an Oliva and Nub cigar, Eminente Rum from Cuba was also on offer.<\/p>\n
The evening was moderated by M. Kemal Saatcioglu, who runs the cigar shop „Cigar Bodrum“ (with an exclusive range of Oliva cigars, among others) in the Hotel Mirada in Bodrum.<\/p>\n
The event was initiated by cigar importer Fumar. Managing Director Mehmet Yigit T\u00fcrk is delighted: „Even though importing cigars to Turkey is a real hurdle, the enthusiasm and interest in Oliva and Nub cigars is overwhelming.“<\/p>\n
Thomas Gryson, Export Manager and Travel Retail Coordinator at Vandermarliere Cigar Family, is also satisfied with the sales in Turkey: „We are very pleased with the market development in Turkey and are sure that we can serve the Oliva fans in Turkey well in cooperation with Fumar.“<\/p>\n
