During the ceremony, one of the brand’s great novelties, the Trinidad Cabildos Premier Limited Edition, was launched for the first time in the world, and 5.15 million euros were raised in an auction of five exclusive humidors.

The first face-to-face edition of the Habanos World Days, organized by Habanos, S.A. and its exclusive distributor in the United Kingdom, Hunters & Frankau, concluded with a historic Gala Dinner attended by 400 guests from all over the world.
