The cigar world received disappointing news this month: Habanos S.A. has officially cancelled the 26th Habano Festival, the industry’s most anticipated annual event in Havana. Originally scheduled for February 23\u201327, the festival was first postponed in mid-February as Cuba’s energy crisis deepened, and has now been called off entirely \u2014 only the third cancellation in the event’s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The organizing committee cited a commitment to preserving the festival’s standards of excellence, stating it will return once conditions in Cuba allow for the experience the event is known for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s a silver lining for enthusiasts, though: the celebrations marking Cohiba’s 60th anniversary will move forward regardless. The first milestone lands on October 7th in London, with the global unveiling of the new Cohiba Talism\u00e1n \u2014 so the year isn’t without its highlights for Habano lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
