El Laguito Factory visit?

[GrouchoMarx]

Hey all,

With wifie and I heading to "head office" in a few weeks, I'm wondering if its possible to visit the factory. I understand they don't have "tours" for groups, but I'm hoping the two of us might gain entry for a quick tour (and purchase of course).

Any advice and/or contact information appreciated!

Cheers

El Laguito doesn't do public tours anymore but I believe La Corona does. It was discussed recently but I can't be sure of the details. Someone else will chime in or try seeing if a search gets you any recent info. Have fun on your trip!

My Monty 2 box is MEG ...since it was mentioned.

OK - so what does "MEG" mean? I know its a factory code of some sort - but I'm told they constantly change so that we don't know what factory the sticks are made in?

(I'm probably repeating something on another thread - but thought I'd ask)

MEG has replaced LUB this year as the main H.Upmann box code.

La corona does the tours, a fair bit shorter than the tour I went on 5 years ago. The best bit is they asked if their was a cigar smoker in our group and I was the only one. So, I sat in the middle of the rollers and had a lesson on making a cigar of my choice, size and blend. Then it was lit and I smoked it sat at a rolling table. Amazing experience but no photos allowed

Nothing is impossible. But El Laguito is going through some management changes currently. 

You can rock up and throw the dice. 20% chance. I would go to La Corona.

Myself and a number of other FOHers did the La corona Tour when in Havana. They are open for tours from 9 am to 1 pm week days. It was packed full the day I went, so the views weren't great. You can also look at the museum they have at the partagas factory/divan.
