The City of Dreams Mediterranean resort was the spectacular venue chosen for a magical evening where music, good food and Habanos were the real stars.

The attendees of this magical evening had the opportunity to enjoy a 5-course meal prepared by Chef Olivier Belliard of City of Dreams Mediterranean and world-renowned 3 Michelin-star Chef Alvin Leung. The evening's entertainment program featured bands like Hanine and Karotseris. All of this took place at the same time as guests had the opportunity to taste, for the first time, the new vitola El Rey del Mundo Royal Series, a product designed for the La Casa del Habano network of specialized shops under franchise. However, to the surprise of those present, this was not the only novelty presented. During the gala, new products such as the Edición Regional Por La Larrañaga Fénix, and the new Cohiba Wide Short (machine-made Cuban cigar) were unveiled.
The finale of the evening was marked by the auction of a personalized El Rey Del Mundo humidor and a unique Por Larrañaga ashtray, both crafted by the renowned Greek artisan Christos Karnabakos. The lucky winners of both unique pieces were Angelos Charalambous and Spyros Vasiliou, respectively.
