An enjoyable tour. Fascinating to watch the workers wrap the cigars. Such precision! The aroma was heavenly even though I don't smoke. Everyone was so gracious to us. And, you can buy cigars as few as one.

Really worth a visit. You can see the cigars being made from scratch and can then buy them. People are very friendly.

I have been to Granada many times and didn't even know places like this existed until a driver for our hotel recommend we visit. If you like cigars - and even if you don't care - it is interesting to see how cigars are made the old fashion way - by hand. The service we received could not have been... More

Dona Elba is the perfect example of great products produced and sold by people who really care about what they're doing. I was able to roll my own cigar (with some serious help from the folks who are actually proficient at making them) and sample various varieties. The service was excellent. Our visit was very relaxed and the staff was... More

(Reviewed by our 13-year old daughter) My parents thought it a good idea to visit this cigar factory, because their travel book said that you could watch the workers produce cigars and even trie to make your own. This should have been an excellent birthday present for my grandfather... A cigar-smoking man came and said hallo, but he wasn't friendly... More
