Music and minis: four classic operas to enjoy with four classic Cuban mini cigars

The first edition of World Opera Day will take place for the first time thanks to the initiative of Ópera América, Ópera Latinoamérica and Ópera Europa. The celebration coincides with the birthdays of Bizet and Strauss II, which is why we propose four classic Cuban mini cigars to enjoy this theatrical genre that was born 400 years ago.

The curtain opens!

1- Mozart’s Magic Flute and Punch Mini 

We start this list by enjoying an opera that combines comedy, fantasy and romance with Punch Mini, a cigarillo that stands out for its rich flavour and strong strength, in addition to being one of the oldest brands in the Cuban portfolio. 

2- La Traviata by Verdi and Cohiba Mini

Made with the best tobacco leaves from the Vuelta Abajo plantations, Cohiba Mini leaves us with a unique flavour and aroma, as much as the well-known opera by Giuseppe Verdi, La Traviata, exciting, passionate and full of unexpected twists and turns.

3- Puccini’s La Bohème and Montecristo Club 

Montecristo Club gives us a smooth smoke and is a great choice for those who are new to the world of Cuban mini cigars; like those young artists arriving in Paris in the 19th century full of ambitions and dreams. Puccini’s La bohème takes us to those neighborhoods of artists and painters eager to show their talents. 

4- Carmen by Bizet and Romeo y Julieta Puritos 

This classic dramatic opera of worldwide prestige could easily be combined with a Romeo y Julieta Puritos, whose name comes from the also classic and famous play by the English playwright. You can light one up and enjoy the combination of passion and drama that this opera leaves us with.

Music and Cuban mini cigars create a perfect symphony of emotions and nostalgia, flavours and aromas, ideal for this October, so it’s time to light up a cigarillo while enjoying the most iconic operas of recent times.
