First held in 1999, the Habanos Festival was conceived by Habanos S.A. to celebrate the craftsmanship and legacy of Cuban cigars. Over the years, it has evolved into a global event, drawing participants from over 70 countries.

Rooted in a cigar-making tradition dating back to the 16th century, the festival pays homage to a history as rich as the cigars themselves. From the Taino people’s early tobacco cultivation to the rise of brands like Cohiba, Montecristo, and Romeo y Julieta, Cuban cigars have long been synonymous with excellence. Today, the festival serves as a platform to showcase this heritage, solidifying Cuba’s position as the leader in premium cigars.
