New Habanos Point in Madeira, Portugal

The autonomous Portuguese region of Madeira has five official Habanos Points now, joining 60 Habanos Points at the Portuguese mainland. Four of the five Habanos Points in Madeira are located at the capital of Funchal, the last one is in Santa Cruz.

Habanos Point

Habanos has several concepts. The La Casa del Habano concept is the best known and 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.
