Скачать или смотреть Master of Havana Cigars: The World’s Most Prestigious Cigar Certification | Hunters & Frankau

In today’s video, I sit down with Jimmy McGhee of Hunters & Frankau to explore what is widely regarded as the most rigorous and prestigious educational program in the world of Cuban cigars: the Master of Havana Cigars certification.

This groundbreaking program has played a pivotal role in establishing the United Kingdom as the world’s preeminent destination for Cuban cigars. Thanks in large part to the high standard of education set by the program, professionals working in UK cigar retailers and cigar sampling lounges are among the most knowledgeable in the world. Whether you're visiting a specialist shop in London or a cigar lounge in Edinburgh, you’ll encounter staff trained to a consistent, world-class standard—ensuring that the UK offers one of the finest and most informed Habanos experiences anywhere in the world.

Exclusively available to professionals within the UK cigar trade, the program stands as the gold standard of Havana cigar knowledge. Designed to challenge even the most seasoned experts, the certification encompasses every aspect of the Cuban cigar industry—from the cultivation of tobacco and cigar production, to the brands, vitolas, and rich cultural and historical context that defines Habanos.

Candidates must master nearly 200 questions spread across five key categories: Agriculture, Production & Presentation, Brands & Specialities, Vitolas, and General Knowledge. The final test? A demanding oral and practical exam judged by three members of the Hunters & Frankau Board of Directors. Only those who achieve a score of 75% or higher are awarded the coveted title of Master of Havana Cigars—joining a select and elite group of certified experts.

Jimmy also shares with us the exciting news of the newly launched Advanced Masters of Havana Cigars, a second-tier qualification designed to build on the foundation of the original program and push candidates even further in their professional journey.

Whether you’re an industry professional or a passionate connoisseur, this is a fascinating look behind the scenes at what it truly means to master the world of Havana cigars.
