Zino Davidoff, the founder and successful business man and
entrepreneur of Davidoff of Geneva, began with the most humble of beginnings as
the son of tobacconist immigrant father, Henri Davidoff. After the family emmigrated
to Geneva from Kiev, in the early 1900’s, their legacy began with a small
tobacconist shop set up in Geneva Switzerland.
Many years later, Davidoff of Geneva continues to be a world leader in
fine cigars, tobacco products and accessories. From the early 1900’s to the
present, the quality and quantity of this visionary businessman continues with
a brand that is well known nationally and internationally as a world leader in
quality and excellence for the cigar aficionado and novice alike.
Davidoff of Geneva can be found in nearly every major
American city, and Las Vegas is the perfect place to showcase superb cigars to
the thousands of tourists that converge on Las Vegas Boulevard. With small
storefronts and kiosks located in the Paris Hotel, Venetian Resort and Casino
and the Grand Canal Shoppes, MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, and the Mandalay Bay
Resort and Casino, the brand is well known and popular among those who want to
relax and indulge in a fine cigar or tobacco product.
We had the opportunity to
sit down with Managing Partner, Matthew F. Acrella, as we were eager to
discover the impetus behind this elegant new venue that will again carry on the
legacy of Zino Davidoff in a stylish and relaxed atmosphere. Featuring amble
comfortable seating along floor to
ceiling windows, with a spacious outdoor patio that provides an excellent space
for people watching , this venue also features a full center bar showcasing high quality
spirits, and a full bar menu.
The walk-in Humidor is the place that guests can
select from the extensive collection of cigars ranging from ten dollars to
sixty dollars. There is the special selection of cigars that can range in the
hundreds of dollars, but overall, pricing is kept competitive with strip
pricing.
As we spoke with Mr. Acrella on the newest Davidoff of
Geneva cigar bar located aside the Fashion Show Mall along Las Vegas Boulevard,
we were inspired by his vision and enthusiasm for his newest and most unique
Davidoff of Geneva venture. “This is the best thing we have going for us. Every
person that comes in here is blown away by the service, the offerings, the
location, and the design. We hope to get more people in here and knock on wood
we will since we have been so well received.
In Vegas, this place that should
be here and needs to be here,” stated Acrella. Cigar bars have a tendency to be
uncomfortabley smoky, but with the newest and most advance state of the art
ventilation system, the smoke will not have you hanging your clothes out the
hotel window after a visit. “We want smokers to be very comfortable here but we
also want non-smokers to be comfortable, “added Acrella.
Although Acrella believes that this concept
is one that will eventually be replicated, he is focused on making sure that
this Cigar Bar is well established and running smoothly before moving forward
on any new accounts. Because this is a standalone business, he is able to
market it to the area Casinos, and being directly underneath the sky bridge
from the Wynn Hotel, this is the perfect location to sit, smoke and sip.
This may be a great “Daddy Day Care” for the
spouses and boyfriends that need a break from Holiday and year round shopping
expeditions located in the adjacent Fashion Show Mall. Whether taking a break from shopping, or relaxing
with friends after a show, Davidoff of Geneva Cigar Bar is the perfect place to
enjoy a cigar and a cognac or a cocktail.
The knowledgeable staff will make even the novice feel comfortable. The
cigar ambassador, who undergoes extensive training in cigar knowledge and
production, will bring your cigar to you, present it, cut it, and light it for
you. “The humidor is so cool, and people really enjoying going in and selecting
their cigar.
The cigars are not behind a glass case, giving the customer the
ability to select the right one. And then, we wanted to create that experience
for our customer, where we bring back that old school, table side presentation,”
said Acrella.
With the history and
legacy of the Davidoff brand, Mr. Acrella, is well on the way in continuing to
educate and provide a world class cigar bar to tourists and locals alike. Finding the right cigar with the right venue
just got a whole lot easier. For more information on Davidoff of Geneva go to
