520th Anniversary Case: The Taste of the Discovery


29/02/2012

The 520th Anniversary case is a special gift whereby Habanos S.A. and the 14th Habano Festival commemorate the 520th anniversary of tobacco’s arrival in the Old World.

This is a limited and unique production designed for those who attend the Festival since it’ll only be on sale during the weeklong celebration. There’ll be limited quantities of only 1,000 of those cases.

The case contains ten H. Upmann Robustos, a Habano vitola that’s currently out of stock in the brand’s portfolio.

The occasion deserved a very special gift since this marks the date that strengthened the encounter of two cultures –the European and the American- with a product that has since then bound together the two parts of the planet: the Habano.

Used by aboriginals in their religious rituals, the discovery of Habano by the Europeans raised the product to the deluxe standard it boasts today, with a culture of its own that goes far beyond the mere act of puffing on it.
