Havana is now rolling out to markets across the country in a new taller, gracefully curved proprietary bottle from Consumers Glass (Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada), says John Imbesi, NABC president. The new package was introduced about 18 months ago.

It’s printed gravure in seven colors from a design developed in-house by Imbesi and a company designer, who used to be a police sketch artist.
