The gala dinner was a celebration of the Cohiba brand and was attended by over 1000 people at Pabexo. We were entertained by fabulous singers and dancers, and most importantly a splendid line up of cigars including:
Cohiba Secretos
Cohiba Corona Especiales
Cohiba Siglo VI
Cohiba Behikes 56
The BHK was of course the star of the show and did not disappoint. A symphony of flavours on the palate 🙂 Can’t wait for these cigars to be released in their beautiful presentation boxes of 10 cigars with the unique and beautiful holographic bands.
Our table (Stuart and Rob Fox, Laurence Davis, Johnny Berman,Paul Gilmour and David Lewis ) attempted bidding at the auction as a consortium but sadly ( or maybe not!) we were not successful !
