The XXII edition of the Habanos Festival will organise, for the third year in a row, the Habanos World Challenge, that tests the general knowledge of the Habano in its different production phases, -from how it is grown, produced and later enjoyed-, based on a series of challenges that aficionados from different countries will have to overcome throughout all the contest’s stages (competition rules published at www.habanos.com).
In the event the main novelties of the year will be presented, in addition to maintaining their traditional activities: Welcome Night; Tour of the best tobacco plantations, which on this occasion will be in the Party Zone in the municipality of San Antonio de los Baños; Visits to the most emblematic Habanos Factories; Trade Fair and Seminars; International Habanos World Challenge Competition which celebrates its third edition; Master Class of Torcido; Gala Dinner and Humidor Auction, among others.
The Gala Evening, will be an evening full of surprises with an outstanding musical line-up. The event will conclude with the Hombre Habano Awards and the traditional Humidors Auction, with all proceeds going to the Cuban Public Health System, as is customary.
