The first cigar box that reached the top of Everest
Proceeds will go towards a children’s charity in Cuba

  • The Saint Luis Rey Herfing box No. 8 (Regional for the Middle East) was specifically chosen, to represent "Luck" in the Chinese culture, in reference to the 8,848 m peak of Everest, and the 40th Anniversary of Phoenicia Trading, one of Habanos SA’s largest distributors, which will be celebrated during a cigar gala event on the 8th of November 2019.
