OVERVIEW

Learn to handroll a premium cigar at a factory that has been producing them for decades and sample a selection of rums inspired by the life of Ernest Hemingway. While touring the Hemingway Rum Company distillery, you will discover how the ingredients are sourced and processed to produce a variety of rums that capture the bold spirit of Hemingway. You will then settle in for a tasting of rums, which may include a complex dark one, another finished in a sherry cask and an unusual blonde rum. A short walk will bring you to the family-owned Rodriquez Cigar Factory, the oldest such manufacturer in the Florida Keys. On the eye-opening, behind-the-scenes tour, you will observe the art of hand-rolling a cigar and then try it yourself while enjoying a sample of Cuban coffee. You may be surprised by the skill involved in producing a tightly rolled cigar that burns evenly.
