This kinda reminds me of over priced coffee mugs with “I ❤️ NY” for sale in time square for some reason.

Makes sense since the target demo for both is Chinese tourists, lol!

Why 66 and not 88, when it's Chinese New Year marketing?  I just don't understand Habanos.

Possibly because in Mandarin, 6 sounds like the word for smooth or flow (六 Liù). 66 would be considered as meaning "smooth going", "everything goes well", or "good luck".

8 sounds similar to the word for wealth or properity (八 Bā). While it is considered the luckiest number, it is not always the best number to use if you want to convey certain meanings.

You may think 888 would be the best number, as it means "wealthy, wealthy, wealthy", but I personally prefer 168 (一六八 Yī Liù Bā), meaning "be lucky and wealthy all the way".

Rob with all the Year of the Dragon branded merch I’ve seen lately, I honestly took your post title literally.
