Tips from locals
Located on the Industria street No. 520, in Old Havana, always had that beautiful colonial building as venue. It is just behind the Capitol building, in the heart of the city. The factory was opened in 1845, the oldest cigar factory of Cuba, by Don Jaime Partagas and it has been making the cigars that bear his name ever since.
Even if you aren't a smoker this place is worth a visit. Attention: be prepared for pedlars trying to sell you items before you go inside the actual store. These cigars are in general not of lower quality, but may risk confiscation at customs due to not being the oficial items. Just gently say: "no, thank you". Also, do not expect to see beautiful virgins rolling cigars in a sensual manner. This is just a myth. Tickets have to be purchased at any state-run hotels to visit the factory, opened only between 09h00-13h00pm.
