Cars & Cigars: Sophisticated Black Professionals Network With a Little Help From Lincoln
Nothing says sophistication quite like a nice cigar. Well, except for maybe the new Lincoln MXS. The fourth Cigars and Cars event at the W Hotel at Perimeter, described as a “Power Mixer for Today’s Professional,” was a chance for businesspeople and young professionals to hobknob in close proximity to some of the newest, hottest luxury automobiles from Lincoln.
“It’s the fourth year we’ve done the event, [and] it’s been a good opportunity for us to expose some of our newer products to today’s professionals,” explains D’Andrea Bidgood, regional accounts director for UniWorld Group, who promoted the event. “We like to reach consumers where they live, work and play. This is a casual environment where you [can] be more relaxed.”
Surrounded by the cigars of Scottish Tobacco and the swanky suits of Joseph S. Bank; the showpiece of the event was undoubtedly the Lincoln MKS. “An event like this is great,” said former NBA star and radio host Dennis Scott. “It gives everybody an opportunity network in a cool environment. And you’ve gotta love the car!”
