Dear friends and fellow smokers,

Habanos announced a very successful XV Festival. New releases (see below), the presence of a plethora of cigar loving stars including Borris Becker, Gary Payton and musicians Delfeayo Marsalis and Omara Portuondo. The world around the Cuban cigars was brought to life with two highlights; the alliance between Habanos cigars and Spanish Rioja wine and a cooking demonstration using Cuban tobacco as the base ingredient by a team of famous Croatian Chefs. The Festival finished off with the traditional Gala evening and Auction. Around $1 million were raised at this year's auction, with the benefits going to the Cuban health system.
