This time around I visited my friend and humidor artist Jose Ernesto Aguilera at his Humidores Habana workshop twice.
Once with the Portmann group on Monday 24-th, the day the XVI Festival del Habano officially was inaugurated and again with my buddy Frank, who missed the first visit, on Wednesday 26-th February.
I have documented the 2 visits on 2 different posts on purpose so the progress of the humidor work can be seen.
Especially so on 3 of the humidors that were auctioned just days after our visit.
The first is the Montecristo desk humidor which was auctioned at the Gala dinner on the 28-th, that is just 2 days after our last visit and after a starting bid of 10.000 € achieved a price at 170.000 €, the second is the square Cohiba humidor which can be seen during our second visit being readied in the open, it was also auctioned at the Gala dinner, starting bid was also 10.000 € and it went for 160.000 €.
