The exclusive humidor San Cristobal de la Habana 1519 caused quite a stir among the most dedicated cigar aficionados attending a summer party on the top deck of the Hyatt Regency Sofia Hotel. The jubilee edition of the humidor is a precious collector’s item with its unique design and comes complete with 100 exquisite vitolas of the brand. The appliance is available in an ultra-limited edition of 500 units for the entire world.
Two were the reasons for the creation of this unique piece of cabinetry. While reason No. 1 was obviously the quincentennial of the founding of Havana as the Cuban capital, reason No. 2 was the 20th anniversary of the relatively young brand San Cristobal. The inspiration of the artists of De Cuba Arte en Madera can be seen in every detail of their workmanship in hand-crafting the body of Cuban cedar, the interior lining of okoume, with gilded accents and a personalized inlay of the Habanos brand. Of course, the content of 100 San Cristobal cigars with a length of 170 mm and ring gauge 57 (the Roque gallery) is a more than ample reward for the patience of the skillful craftsmen, those diligent ambassadors of Cuban culture, as well as for the faithful admirers of special edition cigars around the world.
The rollout of the jubilee humidor has been a long-awaited event for Habanos connoisseurs in Bulgaria. The invitees at the exclusive event captured the emotion of the night in birds’ eye photos of the humidor, while taking in the impressive panorama from atop the Hyatt Regency Hotel and enjoying fine drinks and Habanos cigars. The Latino-style dance program and the live Spanish music added to the festive atmosphere, taking the guests to the birthplace of the Cuban Gold, as the Habanos cigars are affectionately known.
The party mood continued long after the beautiful sunset colored in red the golden domes of the Aleksandar Nevski Cathedral, bidding farewell to yet another day with a smile on the faces, a dream and a shared emotion for the like-minded Habanos enthusiasts.
