Tabaqueria La Cumanesa

Cumaná is renowned for its export-quality cigars, and at this company, founded in 1893, you can stroll the factory and watch the workers sort and hand-roll the 13 varieties. All save one are made from Venezuelan-grown tobacco; the cabreras are a milder smoke and the tierra firme have the strongest flavor. Packets of five cost BsF65 to BsF150, and boxes of 25 run from BsF90 to a cool BsF740 for the luxurious Presidentes. Look for the 'Cabrera' sign.
