The RTDA Does Vegas –
November/December 2002The 70th annual Retail Tobacco Dealers of America Show wowed tobacconists with more than 850 exhibitor booths showcasing new and exciting merchandise.
Billed as the most important shopping event of the year for tobacconists, the 2002 RTDA show featured both thousands of new product lines and educational seminars and social events. Attendees who gathered at the Sands Expo Center in July were able to sample new lines of cigars and preview new humidors, pipes, accessories, and gift items, as well as attend sponsored events, including a breakfast held by Cigar Aficionado and a golf outing hosted by Nat Sherman.
