The attendees of the physical events organized by Phoenicia Cyprus, one of the largest Habanos S.A. distributors, had the opportunity to try the new cigar firsthand. The evening began with words of Mr. Walid Saleh (CEO of Phoenicia Cyprus Ltd.) followed by Mr. Mohamed Zeidan (Chairman of Phoenicia Cyprus Ltd.).

The two co-presidents of Habanos S.A., Mr. Inocente Nunez Blanco and Mr. Luis Sanchez-Harguindey took the stage to speak about Cohiba’s history and they were followed by Mr. Leopoldo Cintra Gonzalez (Habanos S.A. Commercial Vice President) and Mr. Jose Maria Lopez (Habanos S.A. Business Development Vice President) that presented the Cohiba 55 Aniversario LE 2021.

During the evening, the participants of the physical events shared opinions about the new release and interacted with the many venues as they were connected in the live stream that was transmitted to all parties and at the website Cohiba55.com.

Although the Cohiba 55 Aniversario LE 2021 might be available only in the next few months, Phoenicia Cyprus Ltd. presented another surprise.
