Habano Festival 2003

Dinner and Auction

今年、フィデル・カストロが祝祭の夕食とオークションに参加しなかった。カストロはアジアのいくつかの国を公式訪問中だ。オークションの合計は、約250,000USドルを上げ、昨年の約600,000USドルと比べたら、大幅に減った。初めて、入札が設立された最低限総計に達しなかったので、競売から3本のくじは回収されなければならなかった。

The Festival of the Cigar is the ideal moment of exchange among exclusive distributors, managers of Houses of the Cigar from all over the world, executives of the production and of the trade, business men, outstanding personalities of the culture, and of the media related with the tobacco that know that to smoke cigars is an art.

Among the already traditional activities there will be the Welcome's Night, the Commercial Fair, the Seminar of Fans, the visits to the tobacco plantations (vegas), the always prospective of Elegance Dinner and the interesting International Competition "Habanosommelier", already in its second edition.
