In 2003 Habanos S.A. had introduced the Montecristo Company 95th Anniversary Humidor, a limited-edition work dedicated to the 95th birthday of Cuba's most famous musician.


Each humidor comes packed with 95 cigars: 55 Montecristo No. 4s, the ubiquitous petit coronas that are the best-selling Cuban cigars in the world, and 40 Montecristo Salomones No. 2s, rare, fat figurados. Keeping with the "95" theme, only 95 of the humidors will be sold.


Each cigar has a special band with the face of Segundo, similar to the ones on the Montecristo No. 3s presented to Segundo in January 2001


Sale of the humidors will help a good cause -- Habanos said it will dedicate 20 percent of the proceeds to art schools in Cuba.

At the Annual Festival in Havana, hundreds of cigar lovers came from all over the world. There were 5 humidors up for grabs at the auction. They were all signed by Fidel Castro. The Montecristo Humidor sold for a massive $230,000 and the proceeds will go to the Cuba's State Run Health Care System.


Cigars are one of Cuba's most important exports, worth about US$340 million annually.
