I don't smoke cigars, know nothing about them but if you want to learn and see it done for 10 CUC, for about a 45 minute tour led by a charismatic university student -- it is well worth it. And there is a store onsite as well More

But a cigar. Amazing to view this government run cigar factory where all cigars are made for local consumptions. Be warned, no bags and no cameras allowed. Facinating to watch the process of sorting the outer leaves, the rolling, pressing and testing. More

The factory used to be in a cool building behind the Capitol, but has temporarily re-located to a spot our in central Havana. It's about a 20 minute walk, or get a taxi. You'd be smart to book ahead, though we managed to get in as a walk-up. Very interesting tour. No cigars are sold at the current location, though... More

The factory building was something else, and the fact that we visited whilst the locals were working made it all the more enjoyable! What an experience! Absolutely fantastic! We worked our way up to the top of what must have been 5 / 6/ floors and every floor it got hotter and hotter, much more cramped and noisier. It was... More

The cigar tour was closed when we were there, but I did want to mention something about the cigar store attached. My husband bought a few single cigars from this store, and also others from another store in Mirimar. All of cigars from Partagas were dry, did not burn right, compared to the other stores. He questioned the handling and... More

It was interesting to see the cigar process and the cigars being made (especially old ladies puffing huge cigars. Beware that you CANNOT take photos during the tour and the tour itself was rather fast. We spent more time shopping for cigars/rum downstairs than on the tour. More
