Casa del Habano

General sightseeing

CA Ranking: 3

Open: 10am-11:30pm daily

Ave. 5ta #1407 e/ 14 y 16, Miramar

Also included in Cigars section

While this is nestled between a number of different embassies in the business district of Miramar, it was for a while the hottest place to go in Havana. Housed in a magnificent mansion, Casa del Habano also has a boutique, restaurant and perfume and shoe shops. And not only does it have a good cigar lounge and a working humidor with samples of over 27 Cuban brands of cigars, but it also became the venue for a collection of some of Cuba’s best musicians to hold a nightly jam. In recent months this has become a little sporadic so it is worth checking before you go.
