Cigars and Rum.

Havanas and Havana Club come from the same jealously maintained tradition. They have both kept the handcrafted character that is part of their shared heritage, and has helped to establish their reputation all over the world. Like Havana Club, the authentic Cuban rum, the Havana, source of subtle and prolonged pleasure, is the fruit of a job well done, patiently, meticulously. It is a product requiring long experience, as well as the passion and art of men and women who are themselves the fruit of the Cuban soil. For both rum and Havana the best soils and the best seedlings are carefully selected, benefiting from a climate where sun, warmth and humidity are ideally balanced. Then the harvest takes place at the optimum moment.

As with rum, experience has shown that the best tobaccos of the island could not grow, reach maturity and flourish in climes other than those where they first saw light. And in the final step of fabrication of the best cigars, the "torcedor," famous for the technique of rolling Havanas, is an expert as respected and in demand as the cantinero, the legendary bartender. And a badly rolled cigar, or one that is too compact, is just as unacceptable as a badly dosed cocktail. Both professions have the same feeling of belonging to a special caste, a talented brotherhood. The top products of their work won't suffer mediocrity.

Rum and Havanas are willing to accompany you on your journey, but travel first class only.With its lone of patiently aged anejo rums, Havana Club offers connoisseurs of rum and Havanas the program for an ideal day. At the cocktail hour, or at any other time, why not treat oneself to a rare and simple pleasure: a three-year-old Havana Club on the rocks, and a light cigar of one of the top Cuban brands. Light and fruity, the bouquet of a three-year-old is a miracle of balance, the subtle meeting place of white rum and anejos which finds an ideal response in this family of Havanas.
