Habanos Festival 2018

[dangolf18]

Just curious what the approximate cost was last year for the festival (breakdown would be great...most interested in the cost of the Gala dinner). I haven't been able to find prices for 2018, just the dates of the festival. Any info/tips would be much appreciated. Trying to see if it'll fit in my budget.

From what I know (joined the forum in July) is that Rob usually outs something out there in March or so to start securing spots.

Well the festival is end of February....you might be thinking of the Partagas Festival.

I went once , in 2012. My friend and me agreed that if we ever went again we would skip the closing gala dinner. The workshops and the trip to Pinar del Rio were brilliant

if you are a Cuban cigar lover, then i think it is great to do once. Get a small team of friends together.
