Where to go in Miami?

maverickdrinker · 01-30-2010, 04:56 PM

Heading to Miami in 3 weeks. So excited.

Wondering if anyone could suggest some places to see there. I am planning to go to calle ocho and the padron factory.

Any suggestions on what cigars to pick up? Restuarants and nightclubs to check out?

Going with the wife so, shopping suggestions would be welcome too.

TIA

El Credito Cigar Factory (La Gloria Cubana) - great little visit in Little Havana area. This is as close to a Cuban factory as you can find without being on the island itself. Make sure you check out the aging room if you go.

While in Little Havan enjoy yourself a great Cuban meal at one of the many restaurants. I have been to several but don't know any of the names right off hand. Maybe some local folks down there can help with that. It really enhances the "Almost Cuban Cigar Experience".

On that same block as LGC is DPG factory as well. And a few blocks away is Padron, a little farther out is Sosa. Make sure to stop at La Careta or Versaille for Cuban coffee (do not buy any across the street from LGC factory). Make sure to visit factories before or after lunch hour, they take their lunches seriously. LGC has a nice smoking lounge area, DPG does not.
