The XXII Habanos Festival opens Monday, February 24th in Havana, with a big Welcome Evening. The brands taking center stage during this year’s event are Bolívar, Montecristo, which celebrates its 85th anniversary, and Romeo y Julieta, on its 145th anniversary.

The festival also honors the La Casa del Habano, the Habanos, S.A. international network of franchised specialist stores present in more than 60 countries, on its 30th anniversary this year.

Attendees at the XXII Habanos Festival will enjoy a complete five-day activities’ program for finding out about the origin, production and various aspects concerning the culture of Habanos. The itinerary includes its traditional activities: visits to tobacco farms, factory tours in Havana, a trade show and the third edition of the Habanos World Challenge contest.

The festival, considered the world’s largest gathering of cigar lovers and cigar businessmen, will end on the 28th of February with the traditional Gala Dinner, the Habanos Awards ceremony and the traditional Humidors Auction, with all proceeds going to the Cuban Public Health System.
