On 12 October 2023 Kaliman Caribe organized a Gala dinner for all Cohiba aficionados to present the highly anticipated Cohiba Ideales, Coleccion Habanos Book 2021; Cohiba 55 Anniversario, Edicion Limitada 2021; Cohiba Siglo De Oro Year of the Rabbit 2023/24 vitolas. This is the first time the special editions have been presented together, being highly limited they are true pride for any Habanos connoisseur's collection.
The elite event took place in the sophisticated ambience of the private The Residence Club in Sofia, whose building is a monument of culture. The façade makes reference to Havana's iconic El Lagito factory, where the Cohiba cigars are created. The chosen date of the themed evening was also no coincidence. It was on the 12th of October, but back in 1492, that Christopher Columbus reached America. Then he saw the indigenous people (Taíno Indians) making rolls from exotic golden brown leaves. They smoked these bundles and so this was the earliest known form of cigar, which Columbus witnessed for the first time. The exclamation of delight "Cooba" inspired the brand's name almost 5 centuries later.
Class, style and prestige are the words to describe the organization. The boutique event kicked off fully with the rhythm of the Buena Vista Social Club and pearing Cohiba Siglo II with selected drinks and themed cocktails. After the warm welcome, the program continued with a 3-course gourmet dinner, special wines and Cohiba Siglo VI.
The special events are part of Kaliman Caribe's policy to develop the Habanos culture and create a community of loyal admirers. Proof of this is the presence at the tribute to Cohiba of afficionados from Albania, China, Greece, Romania, Serbia, Poland, Ireland, The UK and Turkey - all united by their passion for Cuban cigars.
