The Original Cigar and Rum Tasting Experience in Little Havana

The Original Cigar and Rum Tasting Experience in Little Havana

Overview

Art Deco & Little Havana Tours is the original boutique cultural walking tour in Little Havana and the first to offer rum tasting tours. Some guides for this tour have been trained in Cuba while others are trained by Cuban American masters in Miami who serve as judges in rum festivals. We also visit a hidden gem bar with the largest rum collection in the world. You may request a guide that is heavily versed in cigars or our female guide who can add a dance lesson to top off the activity. This may be part of a special celebration or even a relaxing cultural event.

This is a private tour for a minimum of two people and a maximum of 15. For a more customized tour or larger groups you may contact us. Please know when you choose a date we will confirm if it is available as it depends on the availability of our partners (bars and cigar shops) for this high end experience.

Nothing says Cuban heritage like cigars and rum. Guests will meet their guide and then begin a journey to the past by visiting a cigar factory or shop and learn the traditional technique of growing tobacco leaves, the rolling process and how to light a cigar. Yes you get to keep the cigar and smoke if you choose. Then for the rum pairing and tasting! Learn about this longtime spirit made famous by pirates of the Caribbean and sample different blends to find the one that best complements your cigar. Guests will sample 3 types of rum all with a backdrop of Cuban artwork and ambiance of salsa or bachata music.

This tour is a must! We were in town celebrating some birthdays and had a wonderful afternoon learning sipping and smoking. Our guide was amazing. So much fun and even taught us how to dance and made our last stop a place where we got to put our rum cigar and new dance moves into practice with a live band! Honestly it felt like we were walking around with friends! This is a must do !!

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing your experience on the Cigar & Rum Tasting tour. So glad you had a wonderful time. We've curated a tour where each stop builds on the prior one. It begins with history and technique, and ends as you said with a culmination of cigar, mojitos and dancing for those who want to end on a high note. Salud! Little Havana Tours

The Tour Guide, Christine, accompanied by someone else, was extremely knowledgeable and well prepared... I even learned the unexpected such as finding out that there were paintings made out of cigar leaves! I had never heard of that but not being a cigar smoker, I was intrigued by the amount of detail and her knowledge. Tours generally bore me but this one maintained my attention, it was full of fun and enthusiasm vs just a regular memorised script (as in other tours)... Also, other tourists attending that tour were also awed by the way it was run (especially trying out very special rums that I had not heard of before and the “cafe cubano” in different locations throughout 8th Street and its very Latin ambiance and the flavour of those locations. Not being a Cigar smoker, I was convinced to go on the tour and I didn’t expect much, however, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise that I very very strongly recommend! I must say the tour was definitely an excellent tasting experience of Cuban culture in every sense. Any tours run by Christine Michaels will be very much worth it, you should not miss out!

Saludos Monica, Wow! Thank you for the detailed review. This Little Havana Cigar tour covers more than expected and yes we do have guests who do not smoke but love learning the history and culture and can give the cigars to someone as a gift. Christine has a flair for presenting with passion and authenticity and really knows about cigars and spirits. And not just Cuban style cigars. She's the only female i Miami leading this unique experience. Plus she'll throw in a dance lesson too for those who feel they have no rhythm and two left feet--she can teach anyone. Come back soon for our introductory tour or other specialty tours Little Havana Part 2, Art & Cocktail and Dark Riches tour. Salud! LITTLE HAVANA TOURS
