The world’s most prestigious event on premium cigars is back!
The 19th Habano Festival will unfold in Havana from Feb. 27 to March 3, 2017, featuring a broad program full of traditional activities that combine the knowledge on habanos and the enjoyment of Habanos S.A.’s latest launches.
In this year’s edition, the Habano Festival will pay tribute to such brands as H. Upmann, with the unveiling of the first Grand Reserve, Cosecha 2011, as well as Montecristo and Quai D’Orsay, also with the launch of new vitolas for their regular lines.
Many of the initiatives that have put this annual celebration on the map will come back around this year, based on the tremendous acclaim they have had throughout these years: visits to tobacco plantations in the region of Vuelta Abajo to meet the most outstanding growers; grand tours around the most celebrated cigar factories; lectures and practical sessions within the International Seminar; the Habano Alliances, and the International Habanosommelier Contest, which will be celebrating its 16th edition this time around.
The 19th Habano Festival will come to an end on the night of March 3 with the traditional gala dinner and the much-anticipated auction of humidors built by seasoned Cuban handcrafters, and whose funds are entirely channeled into Cuba’s Public Healthcare System.
