Curious story

In mid-June 2023 I was in Havana Cuba and shot the documentary „In the heart of Havana: Historic Habanos Manufactories“ (premiere is on 01.08.23). I wanted to buy this novelty. But neither the Partagas Casa del Habano nor the Cohiba Atmosphere in the Kempinski Hotel sold them. At both outlets, I was told almost the same thing: „We have it in stock, but the price is still unknown“. I replied that the price was well known, as it had already been mentioned at the Habanos Festival. „Yes, but we haven't yet confirmed what the price will be,“ was the reply.

At first I suspected that the heat and the very high humidity had clouded my brain, because this answer somehow arrived in my brain in a confused state. Strange experience, but that's Cuba. 🇨🇺

Hidden jewel

This is a brand that is considered a hidden gem in the Habanos portfolio. This new cigar was presented in February 2023 during the Festival del Habano XXIII. La Gloria Cubana Turquinos has an impressive gordito format (50 x 141 mm) and is available in boxes of 10.

The box of 10 costs CHF 165.00

The best tobacco leaves from the famous Vuelta Abajo in the Cuban province of Pinar del Rio were selected for the wrapper, binder and filler.

Price and availability

This new line will be available on 8 August 2023 in the Swiss Casa del Habano and on 15 August 2023 in the Habanos speciality shops. The box of 10 costs CHF 165.00.
