At the recently concluded 24th Habano Festival, the Habanos S.A. corporation raised 17.8 million euros during the traditional charity auction that closes the Festival. Six humidors (furniture for the preservation of cigars) were auctioned, money that will be used to improve the quality of Cuban Public Health services.

The humidors auctioned paid tribute to the world-renowned cigar brands Cohiba, H.Upmann, Romeo y Julieta, Hoyo de Monterrey, Partagás, Montecristo, and Trinidad.
