JM Tobacco, importer and distributor of value-priced premium brand, JM’s Dominican cigar, once again offers IPCPR show attendees the chance to “Strike Gold” in their booth (#2401). According to Anto Mahroukian, JM’s president, the company is sending out a mailer to all current IPCPR members. The mailer includes a gold-and-black poker chip affixed to a card with playing instructions and a list of prizes, the grand prize being a 24 karat, solid-gold coin.
Mahroukian explains, “Visitors to our booth can use their poker chip to play a hand of blackjack. Depending on how many consecutive hands they win before their luck runs out, they receive as much as the grand prize. The prizes are in accordance with their number of winning hands, with no losers …. everyone walks away with at least a sampling of cigars. The top prize will go to the attendee who has won the most consecutive hands by the end of the show.
The centerpiece in our booth this year is the new JM’s Dominican Corojo. The hand-rolled 100% tobacco cigar has a Dominican medium-length filler and Connecticut broadleaf binder, presented in a beautiful Corojo wrapper.”
