In this XXIII edition of the Habano Festival, it will be possible to visit two prestigious factories to learn first-hand about the process of making a Habano “Totally Handmade”. It is a unique process in the world that is only carried out in Cuba today with that level of craftsmanship, which maintains the same manufacturing style as 500 years ago.
REAL FÁBRICA DE TABACO TORCIDO LA CORONA
La Real Fábrica de Tabaco Torcido La Corona, was also known in the past as “La Casa de Hierro”. In its initial location, it was one of the unique and most famous buildings in Cuba, thanks to its iron and steel frame, which represented a great Architectural innovation for the early twentieth century.
Throughout the history, and prior to its installation on Zulueta Street in 1904, the factory had been relocated several times. Nowadays, it is located on Calle 20 de Mayo y Línea del Ferrocarril and it is one of the most functional factories in Cuba, which allows that the Habanos are made in the most optimal productive conditions.
