Havana - Real Fabrica de Tabacos La Corona

Aficionados of cigars, bow down to this shrine of cigars before entering! One of Cuba's most famous cigar factories, the Real Fabrica de Tabacos La Corona has legions of devoted fans. Visitors are treated to a tour of the factory where they can see the craftsmanship and care that goes into each hand rolled cigar. It is fascinating to watch the highly skilled torcedores create their works of art.

For those not particularly interested in cigars, the Real Fabrica de Tabacos La Corona is still worth a visit in order to see Cuba's first building built of metal, a real innovation at the turn of the 19th Century when the building was constructed.
