Over the years Aguilera has made some unique masterpieces auctioned at past editions of the Habanos Festival.

The new humidors were introduced at Las Casas del Habano worldwide in the last trimester of 2009.

Montecristo is the best known brand of Habanos worldwide. The balanced blend is created exclusively with selected leaves from the Vuelta Abajo region.

Its distinctive medium to full flavour and distinguished aroma appeal equally to both new and experienced smokers, according to Habanos.
