FESTIVAL DEL HABANOS 2001


What a pleasure to attend the Festival del Habanos 2001!  From the opening parties to the convention, seminar and dinner it was a truly memorable
week.  Both informative and sociable Havana was the ideal place to meet business contacts and friends alike from all over the world.  Here are some of the images taken over the week and do visit this page often as I'll be adding images every day over the next week.  If you don't already subscribe to my newsletter, drop us an email at [email protected] as a full report on my Havana trip will be published in the next week.
