Matelica: Capital of Habanos for a week
The 19th Amigos de Partagás event brought more than 400 cigar enthusiasts to Matelica, Italy, from July 2 to 6. Historically organized by the Matelica cigar club, Amigos de Partagás Matelica has become a prestigious annual rendez-vous for the most passionate Cuban cigars connoisseurs.
The event offers memorable moments with rare Habanos, including the worldwide launch of the new Diplomáticos Legendario Exclusivo Italia! Seminars, tastings, dinners, and hours of conversations filled the week.
Under the stars of this centuries-old Italian village, the gala dinner in the town square brought everything together, closing in grandeur with a performance by Cuban singer Haila María Mompié. The perfect finale to an exceptional and rare Habanos celebration in Europe.
Carrying the Spirit of Amigos de Partagás
For the first time, LES FINES LAMES had the privilege of being a key part of Amigos de Partagás. Being chosen as an official partner of this celebration of Cuban cigar artistry is an honor we value deeply.
Born from our exchanges with Mr. Francesco Minetti, founder of the event, came the idea of a piece worthy of this gathering : Le PETIT – Flag Cuba, featuring the Amigos de Partagás logo engraved on its blade.
This special-edition cigar knife was offered to participants and became a symbol of the event itself.
A refined keepsake designed to carry the spirit of Matelica long after the last cigar was lit.
Six full days of passion, conversations, and a shared love for Habanos S.A. Introducing LES FINES LAMES to this crowd felt natural. The connection was real, and the reception, overwhelming.
More than a milestone, this moment is a quiet affirmation
