Cooler temperatures, golden leaves, harvest season… Autumn is a season with its own magic. It’s the perfect time to enjoy celebrations, festivals, and unique traditions around the world.Today we share five of them with you, ideal for enjoying the beginning of the fall season in the company of our favorite Cuban Mini Cigars.
La Mercè (Barcelona, Spain)
Every September, the city of Barcelona fills with music, lights, and street performances during La Mercè Festival, one of the Catalan capital’s biggest celebrations. Giants, “correfocs”, and concerts transform the streets into a cultural mosaic that attracts both local and international visitors.
Thanks to the autumn weather, taking a break on a Barcelona terrace is the perfect counterpoint to the multisensory stimulation of La Mercè. Our recommendation? Order a latte coffee accompanied by a Punch Mini.
Autumn equinox at Chichén Itzá (Yucatán, Mexico)
The autumn equinox has been an important date since ancient times. In Yucatán, it marks the return of the deity Kukulkán to the historic Mayan city of Chichén Itzá. As the sun passes across the sky, for a few minutes the shadow it casts takes the form of a “feathered serpent” and descends the temple steps.
Every year, this phenomenon attracts travelers from all over the world, fascinated by this natural spectacle. And there is no better way to enjoy this connection between tradition and nature than by lighting up a mini cigar in the style of a Partagás Chicos.
Oktoberfest (Munich, Germany)
September 20 marks the start of one of Germany’s most important festivals: Oktoberfest. It is celebrated in the Bavarian city of Munich, as well as in other parts of the world. With over 200 years of history, its most famous protagonist is beer.
However, Oktoberfest is also a folk festival offering music, cuisine, and traditional regional costumes. In this atmosphere steeped in history, don’t miss the opportunity to experience it in the company of Romeo y Julieta Puritos.
Wine Festival (Limassol, Cyprus)
Autumn in Cyprus marks the return of the cult of Dionysus: poetry, banquets and, above all, wine. The Limassol Wine Festival draws on this ancient Hellenic tradition to organize a celebration centered on wine tasting, sampling typical dishes and visiting wineries, all accompanied by traditional dancing and music.
With this festival as a backdrop, we can pair a Cohiba Wide Short with the finest selection of wines. A pleasure worthy of the gods of Olympus!
Mid-Autumn Festival (China)
Called the Moon Festival, this tradition has been celebrated in several Asian countries for thousands of years. In China, the festival honors the moon goddess Chang’e and features the lighting of small lanterns that symbolize good fortune and decorate public places.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time to contemplate the beauty of our satellite, to get together with family, and to taste traditional mooncakes. To accompany these typical sweets, there is nothing better than serving a cup of green tea and enjoying a Trinidad Short.
From Barcelona to Beijing, through Mexico, Germany, and Cyprus, autumn offers us a variety of plans that combine history, culture, and celebration. In all of them, Cuban Mini Cigars become the ideal companions that add an elegant touch to the celebration and turn those moments into unforgettable memories
