Real Fábrica de Tabacos Partagás is one of Havana's oldest and by far most famous cigar factories. It is located in Centro Habana, across the street from the Capitol Building, in a landmark historic neoclassical building. The factory was founded by Spaniard Jaime Partagás in 1845.
It is still fully operational and about 400 workers labor for 12 hours a day, hand-rolling world-famous cigars such as Cohibas and Montecristos. Tours of the factory start on the ground floor, where the tobacco leaves are sorted and unbundled. The tour continues to the upper floors, where the tobacco is rolled, pressed, labelled with a band, and carefully placed in a box. Naturally, the factory shop is extremely popular.
