Habanos Confirms Festival Del Habano 2026 Programme

December 30, 2025 Usman Dawood 2 min read

Habanos, S.A. has released the general programme for the 26th Festival del Habano 2026, scheduled for 23 to 27 February 2026 in Havana, Cuba.

The programme confirms the main brand focus for the week, with Habanos saying the 2026 edition will pay tribute to H. Upmann, Trinidad, and Cohiba, with Cohiba marking its 60th anniversary.

Alongside the programme release, Habanos included a clear ticketing statement. The company said that, due to extraordinary demand generated by Cohiba’s 60th anniversary, all tickets have been sold exclusively through the Habanos, S.A. distribution network. The statement did not include any further detail on ticket allocation, or whether additional capacity could be added.

The general programme sets out the core structure of the festival across five days. Habanos said attendees will enjoy visits to Habanos factories and tobacco plantations, which typically form the access led part of the week and place production and origin at the centre of the experience. The programme also includes a seminar with conferences, which is positioned as the formal programme element for the festival week, and it lists exclusive pairings as part of the schedule.

Habanos also confirmed three evening events as part of the programme, describing them as very special evenings where attendees will have the opportunity to discover the latest Habanos, S.A. releases firsthand. While the release is presented as a general programme rather than a detailed timetable, it establishes the main pillars of the week and reinforces that new releases remain a central part of the festival’s evening programme.

The 26th Festival del Habano 2026 will run from Monday 23 February through Friday 27 February in Havana, with H. Upmann, Trinidad, and Cohiba as the headline themes, and ticketing routed through the official Habanos, S.A. distribution network.
