The seal is a clear symbol of excellence for our customers and reflects the passion, expertise and dedication with which we sell high-quality tobacco products in our shop\u201d, says Dirk M\u00f6rchen, Managing Director of Frankfurt Airport Retail.<\/p>\n<p>Habanos awards its seal to retailers who stand out from the competition in the premium tobacco sector by presenting a particularly wide selection of Cuban cigars in an excellent setting. Retailers have to meet various requirements: They need an exquisite shop with a suitable humidor; their members of staff have to be specially trained; over 50 percent of their premium cigars have to be Habanos; and the rest of their assortment has to complement the Habanos, including top-sellers from their respective country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pre-emptive right and special editions through \u201cHabanos Specialist\u201d status<\/strong><br \/>\nHabanos rewards its certified retailers with benefits like special training courses, inclusion on the Habanos website and a purchase option for new products, rarities and special launches. Thanks to the quality seal, passengers at Frankfurt Airport can now enjoy a wide range of products, excellent service and significantly improved availability. \u201cEspecially when poor harvests lead to a shortage of high-quality products, the seal allows us to keep offering our customers the best Habanos\u201d, explains Georg Fuhrmann, Managing Director of Frankfurt Airport Retail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42250\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42250\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1.-FAR_Habanos-e1557236330836.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1.-FAR_Habanos-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"size-large wp-image-42250 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\"   \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42250\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-42250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/1.-FAR_Habanos-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"><\/noscript><\/a> Habanos specialist, Frankfurt Airport Terminal 2 Non-Schengen Duty Free<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The 16 m\u00b2 walk-in humidor with the \u201cHabanos Specialist\u201d seal is located in Terminal 2, Non-Schengen.
