Smoker Friendly Fires Up for Tobacco Festival & Conference

17th annual event dovetails with Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival

BOULDER, Colo. -- Smoker Friendly International is gearing up for the 17th Annual Tobacco Festival & Conference. This year's event will be held Aug. 22-23 at The Millennium Harvest House Hotel in Boulder, Colo.

The conference kicks off on Aug. 22 with the Smoker Friendly Dealer Day, a full day of retail-oriented speakers, presentations and share-and-compare activities with leading tobacco store operators from around the country. On Aug. 23,  the General Session features industry experts who will provide legislative and industry updates. That afternoon is the Tobacco Festival along Boulder Creek.

On Saturday all of the Smoker Friendly dealers are invited to the 4th Annual Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival.

Information and registration for exhibitors is available online at www.smokerfriendly.com.

Boulder-based Smoker Friendly is America's largest cigarette and tobacco store retailer. It designed the Smoker Friendly Authorized Dealer Program for existing retail tobacco store and convenience store operators who wish to market a competitively priced private-label product within an exclusive protected territory. This program is for the tobacco retailer who wants the advantages of a private label; more interaction with other tobacco retailers including information and idea sharing; clout with manufacturers; and the greater synergies that a nationally known private-label brand like Smoker Friendly provides.

Currently there are more than 800 stores across the United States with The SF Private-Label Tobacco Family.
