Tabacum Receives Recognition


Saludos,

Greetings, tokers of tabacum nicotania. We wanted to post a link to a well-recognized cigar blog, called Nice Tight Ash, whose contributor, Shawn Pratt, has just published a Top Cigar List for 2011 and has recognized our house-rolled, Tabacums, as being worthy of a Sweet Spot Smoke.

Click here to read the list and what Shawn had to say about Tabacum.

We want to thank Shawn and Nice Tight Ash for the recognition.

Greetings, lovers of lanceros. We celebrated an event with Oliva Cigar Co. Friday evening and published a YouTube video to recap the night’s festivities.

In order to escape the Summer heat, we are taking a break with cigar events until September when we will feature the recently crowned Top 25 cigar, Brick House, and where you will have a chance to earn some savings that day on their cigars.

Birthday Wishes from Google

Saludos,

Greetings, lovers of lanceros. We were updating our Google account today and noticed that when we signed in and went to Google’s homepage, we saw this image wishing us a happy birthday. April 5, 2010, marks Habana Port, LLC‘s incorporation date although we first opened our doors for business on August 27, 2010. We thought it was cool and thought you should know that if you have a Google account and list your birthdate, Google will post this image when you log in on your birthday. Sweet.

So here’s to our first official birthday (as far as the state of Louisiana and Google are concerned) and hoping we see many more.

Los Blancos Event

Saludos,

Greetings, supporters of slim panatelas. Check out our YouTube video we published of last week’s Los Blancos Cigar Co. in-store event. He discusses his lines of cigars and the benefits of joining the Cigar Rights of America (CRA). It was a fantastic night and our fans are already anxiously awaiting for our next in-store event. Stay tuned to our blog or register your email on the right-hand side of our blog so you can stay informed of the latest Habana Port news and event announcements.

Please consider joining CRA as this a great lobbying group for cigar smokers and individuals who value their personal freedoms. As you know there are intolerant groups that are always trying to ban a legal product (which is not adverse) or to unjustly tax us to death. Every membership in the CRA helps in their and our fight!

We would also like to thank David and his family for assisting with our event and we can’t wait until he stops by next time.
