Tabac‘s Javier San Juan y Galatas, together with publicist Pinky Jacob and account managers Richard Roxas and Angie Simpao, hosted the events to allow clients to see this spectacle, meet the Señor and most of all luxuriate in his freshly rolled Cuban stogies.
Señor Jorge made the rounds of Manille’s cigar bars and met cigar enthusiasts like Raffy Rufino, Jovy Cruz, Rommel Papa, Tropical Forest’s Abe Gopoco, Kim Wong and Nap Taas; John Jimenez of Humidor de Cuba; Ogie Villalon and Bebo Quiros of Kipling’s; plus Edwin Bautista, Ricky Arnaldo, Hep Martinez and The Peninsula’s Larry Cole and Rudy Oretti.
Apres the Señor’s brief visit, dahlings, Tabac was invited to the prestigious 3rd Int’l Habano Festival in Cuba, which drew global cigar distributors, connoiseurs, international celebrities and media people for cigar dinners, auctions, seminars and factory and plantation tours. Tabac’s Javier San Juan and Katrina Panlilio-Craig, who gave birth to a baby boy just last May, got the chance to meet the legendary Fidel Castro during a function at the famous Tropicana Hotel.
There were beautiful people and power people and party people all around. We look forward to many Jam Nights at Blue Onion as it becomes the next party place to beat. Cheers, cheries!
