The Luxury Network Adria recently demonstrated its expertise in luxury event facilitation by supporting its distinguished member, Mareva Cigar Club and it’s president Marko Bilić, in celebrating a landmark partnership with Oliva Cigar Company and the Cigar Smoking World Championship (CSWC). The April 24th black-tie gala in Split marked a significant milestone for these globally renowned brands, with CSWC’s established presence across 50 countries worldwide.

The carefully organized evening commenced at the prestigious Marmont Hotel Heritage in Split, where distinguished guests gathered for an elegant reception. The celebration continued at Artičok, where attendees were welcomed to the restaurant’s rooftop terrace. Here, they enjoyed champagne and their first Oliva cigar of the evening, accompanied by live jazz performances, before continuing to the main dining room for a formal dinner.

The exclusive event brought together an impressive group of luxury brands and partners. Guests experienced exceptional culinary artistry by Artičok, perfectly paired with prestigious selections from Markus Wines. The evening was further distinguished by the presence of Cigar Journal, the industry’s leading publication, and highlighted by the exclusive unveiling of the CSWC Cuervo y Sobrinos “Espléndido” watch.

Building upon Mareva Cigar Club’s established international reputation, The Luxury Network Adria has facilitated their entry into new strategic markets, including recent successful engagements in Beirut and Marrakesh, with an upcoming presence planned in Jordan. This collaboration exemplifies our network’s ability to create valuable connections and unlock new opportunities for our already successful members.

“Our role is to identify strategic markets for our members and facilitate meaningful connections that expand their regional and global reach,” explains Ana Roncevic, Managing Director of The Luxury Network Adria, who co-hosted the evening.

The gathering of over 30 distinguished international guests perfectly embodied The Luxury Network Adria’s commitment to supporting its members in creating memorable luxury experiences and fostering valuable international relationships.
