Oettinger Davidoff has partnered with SDA (Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire), the joint venture between Lagardère Travel Retail and Group ADP, to open a walk-in humidor at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport Terminal 2E.
The humidor, which opened on 31 January, is located in the Buy Paris Duty Free shop and is said to “demonstrate how each company truly values outstanding quality and excellent product presentation”.
A wide selection of products from the full Davidoff range is available at the humidor as well as cigars from Camacho, Griffin’s and Zino brands. The walk-in humidor will protect the quality of the cigars, while ensuring that they are stored under ideal humidity conditions for optimal taste experience and enjoyment, Davidoff said.
Lagardère Travel Retail CEO Dag Rasmussen said: “Our Buy Paris Duty Free shop at Terminal 2E carries a full line of premium cigars and specialises in limited-edition cigars to pair with the unique liquor selection. In addition to bringing the experience of Davidoff to the dedicated cigar aficionado, we will also introduce Davidoff to a wider audience.”
Société De Distribution Aéroportuaire CEO Guy Bodescot added: “The underlying philosophy goes beyond the typical sense of place feeling that we want for all of our stores: The Buy Paris Duty Free concept must also adapt to passengers’ profiles and expectations. In terminal 2E, Paris Airport is expecting us to offer long-haul Sky Alliance passengers a unique environment with the most upscale version of our strategy, to create the ultimate Paris shopping experience.
“We have raised all the standards of the Buy Paris Duty Free concept to the ultimate level: a more personalised service, a great experience for connoisseurs of cigars through the partnership and the development of the Davidoff Cave à Cigare.”
