A report released on Wednesday by the international corporation Habanos S.A., adds that the welcoming night of this cigar celebration will take place at the former Tobacco and Wood Warehouse, that now houses a sui generis brewery in Havana Bay.

Organized from 23 to 27 February, this is one of the most important meetings of the global tobacco industry, inasmuch as it promotes Habanos, which are regarded to be the best Premium or hand-made cigars of the world.

The official note refers that Cuba will show all its charms at the Habanos Cigar Festival, an event that, as in every edition, incorporates new products.
