Cuba on Saturday announced the cancellation of its iconic cigar festival, amid a major energy crisis sparked by US pressure on the cash-strapped island.
In a message to participants seen by AFP, organizers said they were postponing the annual event, scheduled to take place from February 24-27, but did not give a new date.
The decision was taken \"with the aim of preserving the highest standards of quality, excellence and experience that characterize this international event,\" organizer Habanos SA said.
