In statements to Prensa Latina, the manager of that entity, Lucia Alsogaray, highlighted the importance of the event and assured that FIT is an opportunity to show visitors the attractions of that product, fruit of Cuban culture and traditions, but also the possibility of touring the island following the route of its cultivation, processing and production.

We are a Cuban franchise and we are in love with tobacco.

We get asked a lot about Havana cigars, if it is possible to travel around the island through them, something we do and always try to recommend because we think there is a very interesting tour of the best cigar in the world, which is marketed and known in most countries, he said.

He also pointed out that it is extremely popular among the Argentinean public.

More and more young people are turning to cigars to get away from the harmfulness of blond tobacco and also for the ritual, something that has to do with reducing stress, with connecting with friends.

The Argentinean has a lot of ritual, the mate, the barbecue, the meetings, and the Havana cigar is incorporated to our customs in a very friendly and successful way’, assured Alsogaray.

On the other hand, she emphasized that ‘there is nothing like the Cuban soil and air’.
