Cuba Cancels Cigar Festival Amid Economic Crisis
Season 1, Ep. 357
•
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.
The "Festival del Habano" draws cigar enthusiasts, traders, and specialized journalists from around the world and features an auction of luxury cigars and humidors.
