La Casa del Habano stands for pure cigar enjoyment and the same applies to the over 50-year-old traditional company Urs Portmann Tabakwaren AG. The cigar specialist in St. Gallen can now also call itself «Casa del Habano». The family business bears this name, which is also a seal of quality, with pride and passion. Zigarren.Zone will report on the opening ceremony with a video.
The Portmann family opens La Casa del Habano in St. Gallen
Shops with the «La Casa del Habano» seal of approval are characterised by the highest level of expertise, first-class customer service, hospitality and a complete range of original Cuban cigars. The Portmann family business in St. Gallen is now also part of this exclusive circle. Aficionados can not only buy the best tobacco products here, but also sample them in a stylish ambience.
Cigar smoking is the oldest form of tobacco enjoyment. Even the Aztecs and Mayans indulged in this passion and honoured their gods with it. Today, Havana cigars are a unique cultural asset - masterpieces from the Caribbean, handmade under strict quality control.
A place to linger
The first Casa del Habano was opened in Cancún, Mexico, in 1990. Today there are 160 of them, mostly in larger cities and scattered all over the world. Lovers of fine Cuban cigars are in the right place here, as they can find everything from the finest to exquisite rarities. Aficionados don't just want to buy tobacco in a Casa del Habano. They also like to make themselves comfortable in the smokers' lounge in the shop, where they can linger as they please and smoke their favourite cigar in a relaxed atmosphere.
A touch of the Caribbean
First-class cigars require first-class service - this is the philosophy of every Casa del Habano and has always been the credo of the Portmann family. This is why guests are given personalised advice in the specialist shop and lounge by specialist staff with extensive knowledge. On request, they are even given personal lockers where they can store their purchases. A Casa del Habano is a paradise for every aficionado, where they can immerse themselves in the world of the best tobacco. Fidel Castro, Winston Churchill, Sigmund Freund and Friedrich Dürrenmatt would certainly have felt at home here - and talked shop with each other about their favourite brands.
Urs Portmann Tabakwaren in St. Gallen can now also call itself «Casa del Habano».

Thomas and Marc Portmann emphasise this with the words: «Anyone who leaves our Casa del Habano should take an unforgettable experience with them.» They also look with pride at their parents, who have built up the company worldwide over decades with great joy and vigour. They are endeavouring to continue the family business with the current, clear strategy.
