Rene Francisco was a wonderful guide full of knowledge and experience. My wife and I loved learning all about the artistry and history of cigar making. Rene took lots of time to answer all of my many questions. The cigars made here are of the highest quality and at the end of the tour I was able to try one and the blend was on point for flavor, construction, slow burn, and perfect draw. These guys know what they are doing and it shows. They are enthusiastic, passionate and kind. The Cuban coffee and pastries were a great addition as well. This visit was the highlight of our Miami vacation for me. Highly recommended.

We had such a great experience here! So much time spent with us answering questions and talking about the process. I do not smoke cigars or even like the smell but this whole tour and process was great. Highly recommend. Thanks Rene !

Very enjoyable tour! Rene did a fantastic job sharing his passion and knowledge about cigar making and cigar culture. From the hands on feel and smell of the various leaves to the roller and making process, well worth the visit! Some coffee and pastries to boot! Thanks Rene!
Upon entering the Casa Habano, each guest will be greeted with a traditional Cuban coffee or "Cafe Cubano" to get a full sensory experience.
From there we begin a video on the seeding, germination, planting, curing, fermenting and sorting of tobacco leafs before shipped to factories.
We continue by sharing the history of Commercial cigar rolling in Florida which began with small-scale operations by Cuban immigrants in the 1830s, and blossomed in to the "cigar Capital of the World", with Pioneers like Vicente martinez Ybor and Eduardo Manrara.
Next we visit the GALERA to experience each manufacturing stage:
PRIMARY PROCESS - This is where you get to see firsthand the different types of tobacco and the aging process. Here you will see and learn how various tobaccos are sorted.
DEVEINING - The removal of the center vein is a critical process of preparing the tobacco, and we will show you how it is done. TWISTING & ROLLING - Constructing a cigar is a 3 step process. See our Master Torcedores, twist, bind, press and roll our premium cigars.
PACKING - Once cigars have been rolled they undergo further aging, before they're label and packaged for distribution.
For safety, we recommend to wear closed shoes.
During the tour, guests are invited to enjoy (1) complimentary cigar.
