A Cuban cigar is definitely not a hookah 😂. When many people think of the country of Cuba, one of the first things that pop into their heads is the cigars. The image of cigars and Cuba are so connected that it's hard to avoid seeing photos of Cuba without someone in the foreground or background holding or smoking one of their most celebrated products. Cuban cigars make up an important part of the export economy. Estimates vary, but roughly $500 million worth of cigars are exported annually, representing around a quarter of Cuba's total exports. Want to learn more about cigars while visiting Cuba? Just visit a tobacco plantation. In places like Viñales, visiting a tobacco plantation is one of the top things to do in Cuba. Viñales is just a few hours away from Havana and makes an enchanting trip for a couple of nights. As for cigar factories, there are several possibilities, but by far the most popular is in Havana, known as the "Real Fábrica de Tabaco Partagás", a cigar factory and museum and cigar outlet that also offers up-close tours of the laborious cigar making process.
