The 20th Habano Festival, biggest Premium Cigar festival worldwide, comes to an end here Friday with an awarding ceremony and the auction of artistic humidors full of the best cigars made in this country.
The closing ceremony is scheduled tonight to the early hours of Saturday (at the Pabexpo fair grounds) where the Habano Prizes of the Year (corresponding to 2017) in the categories of Production, Business and Communication will be granted.
These awards are compared with the Oscar cinema prizes, but on the cigar industry, and they are conferred to persons who promote and foster the habano industry as well as their marketing. On the other hand, the funds of the humidors and cigar auctioned each year go to funding the national health system, particularly cancer research and treatment.
After a week of surprises and emotions, visits to factories and plantations, besides the exchange of impressions and experiences at workshops, and drinks tasting, the Festival comes to an end successfully, organizers assure.
Smokers of Premium cigars from all over the world again turned their eyes to the Cohiba Brand, that together with Partagas reigned over the 20th Festival, from February 26 to March 2, at the Havana Convention Center.
This event is a superlative attraction for those who have any relation at all with this sector and, above all for lovers of the highest quality cigars the world over.
In the closing gala will stand out from Cohiba, the Robustos Harvest 2014, its most Premium proposal, besides the Maduro Line of Partagas, another star of the event.
