“Genuine luxury transcends the mere acquisition of high-priced items and ventures into the realm of authentic, enriching experiences that resonate with the essence of real beauty in its most complete form. It is found in moments and experiences that bring us closer to the core of what it means to live fully. It could be the tranquility of a meticulously designed garden that offers a sanctuary from the hustle of everyday life, the profound depth of a piece of art that speaks to the soul, or the complex flavors of a cigar that tell a story of their origin, cultivation, and journey to the smoke. It’s in these experiences that luxury reveals its true face—a face not marred by the superficial need for display, but illuminated by the joy of authenticity, craftsmanship, and connection.” commented Luciano Meirelles, President of Luciano Cigars and Co-Owner of Peter James Cigar Co.
“In a world increasingly dominated by the ephemeral and the superficial, genuine luxury stands as a beacon to those seeking to connect with the real things in life—the elements that truly matter. It challenges us to redefine our perceptions of value, urging us to find luxury not in the price tag, but in the unparalleled satisfaction that comes from experiences rooted in depth, meaning, and beauty. Ultimately, genuine luxury is about enriching one’s life with experiences that are not just consumed but cherished. It’s about elevating the ordinary into the extraordinary, not through ostentation, but through the profound understanding and appreciation of what it means to experience the world in its most beautiful, authentic form,” says John Laurendi Co-Owner of Peter James Cigar Co.
The 2024 PCA Trade Show opens March 23, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
