Cuba Day 6: Cohiba’s El Laguito Factory Tour | A Legacy of Excellence | Kirby Allison in Cuba
Join me, Kirby Allison, as we return to the heart of Havana for an exclusive journey through the esteemed El Laguito cigar factory, a place where the art of cigar-making ascends to its highest form. It’s here, within the walls of this historic 100-year-old mansion, that the fabled Cohiba cigars have been meticulously crafted since the 1960s, capturing the patronage of aficionados worldwide.
The mystique of Cuban cigars, unparalleled in the tobacco realm, finds its soul in the legacy of El Laguito. Our privileged access, courtesy of Director Oscar Rodriguez Carballeira, allows us to privileged access to the hallowed halls of El Laguito, where each Cohiba is not merely made but brought to life through the skilled hands of Habanos’s dedicated torcedores, or cigar rollers.
Witness the convergence of quality, craftsmanship, and tradition as we delve into the steps of creating the world’s most coveted cigar: Cohiba. From the selection of the finest leaves to the expert hands that roll them, every moment in El Laguito speaks to the soul of the Cuban people.
So, come along with me for an intimate glimpse into the sanctuary of cigar-making excellence, as we explore the embodiment of quality, craftsmanship, and tradition that is El Laguito.
