THE INTERNATIONAL BIG SMOKE FESTIVAL 2024 IS SET TO SHOWCASE THE FINEST INDONESIAN TO***CO, MSMEs AND FASHION INDUSTRY
PRESENTING PRODUCTS WITH A TYPICAL INDONESIAN TOUCH IN GLOBAL MARKET
Indonesia, as a country rich in cultural and natural diversity, has various products with local wisdom that have been passed down from generation to generation. For the first time, Bali as one of the world's tourist destinations will hold a music collaboration event with consumers and producers: Ci**rs – F&B – Fashion and MSMEs. The International Big Smoke Festival (ISBF) 2024 is one of the biggest events of its kind, which will be held in an outdoor area for 3 days - located in the premium center of the Bali Collection - Nusa Dua, Bali. Cigar-Universe ID is the official media partner for this extraordinary event.
Bali Collection is the largest shopping and culinary center in the Nusa Dua area of Bali. With a green landscape concept, the 8-acre area has the Sogo Shopping Center, branded tenants on a national and international scale, as well as well-known restaurants/cafes surrounded by premium class 5-star hotels. Participating brands will also gain brand awareness and brand experience effects in the upper middle segment.
Nugroho Widjaja, Brand Manager, Dos Hermanos Cigar, stated, "We are proud to be present at this prestigious event. The 2024 International Big Smoke Festival will not only have a big impact in the domestic arena but will also have a multiplier effect on international audiences. Dos Hermanos ci**rs have a unique character that is not inferior to Cuban ci**rs and are ready to be promoted to an even higher level.”
Chairman of the International Big Smoke Festival Committee, Ewin ‘Opa’ Mesfer, said that this event was specifically designed to collaborate with local to***co farmers and Bali MSMEs. At this festival, ci**rs are showcased not only as a high-quality local product, but also as a symbol of craftsmanship and tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation.
"We deliberately created this event to collaborate with Balinese MSMEs and to***co farmers. We want Indonesian ci**rs to be known globally. Besides that, we also invite other finest Indonesian cigar brands to join and promote their products. This year we have the honor of welcoming El Gaucho and Uno A Jefe in the festival," Ewin opens. Apart from ci**rs, the party also collaborated with 26 MSME booths specially selected by Bali Collection. This festival presented various types of products, ranging from traditional food, drinks, fashion, to handicrafts.
"Tourists will not only enjoy cigar products, but also experience the exclusive and luxurious atmosphere offered by the Bali Collection.
"We hope that this event will attract investor interest in the Indonesian to***co export business or Bali MSMEs, as well as providing interesting additional activities during the school holidays,” Ewin concluded.
Benny Prasetyo K., Editor-in-Chief of Cigar-Universe ID magazine said, “We are very happy to be part of this extraordinary event and look forward to seeing the trade well done in this big open market. Bali Collection is a proven hub that carries the ISBF heritage, and we are sure everyone will be entertained and enjoy the various products presented, including national ci**rs."
The opening show started with a Fashion Show featuring collections from Dani Soe and pounding performances by legendary DJs of Adam Jagwani, Steven Foe and Jockie Saputra.
