There is so much to watch and look through on Habanos World Days. The last post covered Cohiba’s 55th anniversary, but there is still a fair bit left to cover on the event. The pairings section is fascinating and offers a specialist perspective on luxury cigars with high-end spirits. Each pairing is revealed by an award-winning sommelier featuring a...
After the cancelation of the XXIII Habanos Festival left a major void in the diary of many cigar smokers, Habanos S.A created a new alternative solution, Habanos World Days. The Habanos Festival is a week-long celebration in Cuba showcasing all things Habanos, including auctions, presentations of new releases and conferences.

The H.Upmann Sir Winston is something of a mystery to some, myth to others and a joy to those who have smoked one. The mystery is that its availability has been sporadic to say the least and when they are available, they tend to fly off the shelf nearly immediately, leading on to the myth for some of ‘do they...
Habanos S.A has produced a second release of the H.Upmann Magnum 56 for the general cigar market. The initial release was specifically intended for travel and duty-free concessions but due to limited travel over the past 14 months the jars have been authorised for sale in traditional merchants.

Any cigar connoisseur will, of course, own a humidor (or two or three). However, there are times when you may be caught without a humidor, or perhaps you’re not a regular cigar smoker, but you’ve been gifted a cigar, at a wedding say, and you don’t want to smoke it right then, but you know you will someday. The problem...
