Habanos Point Concept Reaches the Canary Islands

In the last few months, Habanos is really pushing the Habanos Point concept. Habanos has several concepts. The La Casa del Habano concept is the best known. It is also most renowned one. A class higher is the Cohiba Atmosphere concept. And a step below the La Casa del Habano concept is the Habanos Specialist concept. The Habanos Terrace concept is more suitable for hotels and bars. Small shops, where space is an issue, can join the Habanos Point concept.

If the professionalism and dedication in the retail location are above average, local Habanos distributors can introduce the Habanos Point concept. The staff should have at least a degree from the Habanos Academy’s Junior Course. The conservation of Cuban cigars should be optimal. The final requirement is that Cuban cigars should cover at least half of the available space for premium handmade cigars.

Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are eight Spanish islands 100km from the west coast of Morocco. It’s an area where many Cuban refugees fled to after the 1959 revolution. Many of them grew tobacco and made cigars in the Canary Islands before relocating to the Caribbean. The largest island, Tenerife, is the first of the Canary Islands to have an official Habanos Point.

The retail location Somecigars is awarded the Habanos Point certification due to their specialization in the world of Cuban cigars. According to the Habanos distributor in the region, Cuba Cigar SLU, it’s the first step in an extensive specialization program for the region. More Habanos Points are expected on the Canary Islands. The islands are a popular vacation destination for many Europeans.
