The Welcome Event, dedicated to the Hoyo de Monterrey Reserva Cosecha 2012, will have Alexander Abreu, renowned trumpet player, composer and winner of a Latin Grammy, and his group Havana D'Primera to close the evening. On the other hand, the Gala Evening, in tribute to Cohiba on its 50th Anniversary, will feature performances by such distinguished artists as Chucho Valdés, the Cuban pianist and composer, winner of five Grammys and three Latin Grammys; Estrella Morente, the Spanish Flamenco singer; or Jorge Drexler, the Uruguayan singer and songwriter, winner of an Oscar and two Latin Grammys. They will share the stage with rising popular international names in Cuban music such as Alain Pérez, Geidi Chapman and Cucu Diamantes.

Talent will also be enjoyed at the International Habanosommelier contest, which this year celebrates its 15th anniversary, and will bring together the world's best "Habanosommeliers", the winners of all the previous editions, with the challenge of finding the "Maestro de Maestros" of Habanos pairings with the most famous drinks and cocktails.

In addition, attendees of the XVIII Festival this year will have the exclusive opportunity to visit the Torcido El Laguito Tobacco Factory, the parent company of the Cohiba brand. This former residential mansion, built in neoclassical style in the 1920s, was the home of the legendary Escuela de Torcedoras, later to become the factory of another icon: the Cohiba Brand, the most exclusive Premium Habanos brand in the world.
