A Night to Remember at the XXV Habano Festival

On February 28, 2025, the prestigious Hall of Lost Steps at the National Capitol in Havana was transformed into a vibrant setting for an exclusive gathering during the XXV Habano Festival. This event, paying homage to the celebrated H. Upmann, welcomed 600 guests in an atmosphere rich with elegance and tradition.

Introducing the H. Upmann Magnum 50 Gran Reserva Cosecha 2019

During the soirée, the highlight of the night was the first global unveiling of the H. Upmann Magnum 50 Gran Reserva Cosecha 2019. With a meticulous aging process of at least five years, this special vitola (a type of cigar) promises a unique flavor profile, complemented by a classic blend that defines Habanos’ esteemed offerings. The harmonious balance, sweetness, and aromatic complexity were engineered to cater to the most refined palates.

José María López Inchaurbe, Vice President of Development at Habanos, stated, "In an increasingly fast-paced world, we often overlook the beauty of savored moments. Today, I present a vitola that stands opposed to this trend, embodying dedication, craftsmanship, and time—elements that lend itself to a truly unique experience reserved for those who cherish authenticity."

An Exclusive Experience

This newly introduced H. Upmann vitola also features a unique NFC technology security band, raising the bar for cigar luxury. It is offered in two exclusive formats: a limited edition box containing 15 Habanos, with only 5,000 individually numbered boxes produced, and a beautifully designed pack of three, ideal for gifting, also in limited quantities. Attendees of the mid-week event had the rare opportunity to purchase this special gift box ahead of its general release.

A Multisensory Night

The mid-week event of the 25th Habano Festival was indeed a memorable evening where history, culture, and exclusivity merged in a splendid tribute to H. Upmann and the unmatched tradition of Habanos. A carefully crafted multi-course meal was paired with premium wines and spirits, meticulously chosen to enhance the subtleties and sophistication of the H. Upmann cigars.

The night was further enlivened by performances from renowned international artists, including Annys Batita, Liana Milanés, Shanara, and the Cuban Television Ballet, creating an unforgettable ambiance.

This carefully orchestrated evening not only celebrated a remarkable brand but also reinforced the lasting heritage of Habanos, creating a captivating experience for all participants. With each detail curated to perfection, the event served as a reminder of the artistry and dedication behind the historical world of fine cigars, leaving guests eager for what the future holds at subsequent festivals.

Conclusion

In essence, the XXV Habano Festival’s Mid-Week Event Night was more than just a presentation of a new product; it was a celebration of a lifestyle rich in culture, passion, and exclusivity, embodying all that H. Upmann represents in the heart of Cuban heritage.
