HAVANA, CUBA.- More than one hundred researchers, museologists, collectors, journalists, and artists will participate in the Fourth International Symposium Habana-Habanos 2011 scheduled for the Cuban capital from Tuesday, July 5, through Thursday, July 7.

Zoe Nocedo, director of the Cigar Museum of Old Havana and president of the event’s organizing committee, told Prensa Latina news agency that participants will learn and share experiences on the history of the habano cigar, markets, brands, design of vitolas, marketing, and other aspects.

Another purpose, she added, is to join efforts linked to the culture of cigars in order to prepare development projects.

The event will also dedicate a working session to the annual meeting of the members of the Amigos del Habano (Friends of the Habano) Cultural Project.

Present in the event will be personalities such as British Simon Chase, Brazilian Cesar Adames, Argentinean Roberto Rodriguez and Peruvian Jorge Iribarren.

Nocedo announced that following the Symposium, Havana will also host the international course ‘Habanos: Cultura y Maridaje’ (Habanos: Culture and Connection), scheduled for July 11-13.(ACN)
