CBD CIRCUIT
TOBACCO
PLUS EXPO
INTERNATIONAL
FEBRUARY 11-13, LAS VEGAS
For those of you reading
this who have attended vape
or CBD expos before, you will
already be used to the various
sights and sounds that avail
your eyes and ears.
In that regards the Tobacco Plus Expo held in Las
Vegas in February was similar to what we already
expect from these events.
This time though, my travelling-self met an expo
that also stimulated another one of the senses – the
sense of smell.
Perhaps I should explain further.
The TPE isn’t just a vape expo. Yes, it has a large
presence of vape companies exhibiting but then on
top of that you have tobacco companies exhibiting
alongside CBD companies who are also present.
Add into the mixture the relaxed status of cannabis
in Nevada and you find yourself in a situation where you
can be walking through the expo cheerfully munching
on a CBD infused gummy bear and enjoying the
smell of vape juice, before suddenly the pungent
aroma of a cigar assaults your nasal passages.

Seconds later you turn a corner to have that smell
replaced by the unmistakable lingering smell of
marijuana.
This was most definitely the most eclectic expo I’ve ever
been too.
As always it was a pleasure to catch up with a few
friends from the industry such as Jason Monti from
Vape Conventions and the crew from Savage
E-Liquids and it was fascinating to continue to chart the
continuing rise of CBD companies.
If I’m honest it was surreal to see various tobacco companies
cheerfully selling their wares alongside it all but somehow it
was also very Vegas.
I’ll certainly visit again. By all accounts the presence
and quality of CBD brands exhibiting at the show
increases every time and I’d like to see that continue.
