CUBAN PAIRINGS
Cigar Pairings for the Table
Part of the ritual is savoring a cigar alongside great food or a handcrafted drink. Here are a few simple pairings to consider during your visit.
WITH A MOJITO
Cigar + Mojito
Bright, minty, and refreshing — a good match for a mild or medium cigar. The citrus and mint balance earthy tobacco notes well.
WITH CUBAN DISHES
Cigar After the Meal
Pair richer Cuban dishes with a smoother cigar after your meal, especially if you are staying for music or sunset. Lechón Asado and Ropa Vieja work especially well.
WITH DESSERT OR COFFEE
Cigar + Cuban Coffee
A classic end-of-evening pairing for guests who want to slow down after dinner. Cuban coffee, sweet plantains, or dessert make a natural finish.
Lechón Asado

CUBAN HERITAGE
Cigar Rolling — A Cuban Tradition
The art of hand-rolling cigars is part of the deep cultural connection between Cuba and Key West. Cigar rolling demonstrations occasionally take place on special occasions inside the Cayo Hueso y Habana Historeum — a rare glimpse into a tradition brought to Key West by generations of skilled Cuban artisans.
Demonstrations are not regularly scheduled and take place on special occasions only. Ask about current availability when planning your visit.
