Cuba1 of 5

All great rums boast a strong legacy. Precious few extra special rums, though, are immortal. Havana Club 7 is one of them.

A double is always in order when enjoying fine rum. In the case of Havana Club Especial, though, it's also guaranteed... In a way.

The story of Cerveza Hatuey is really the story of 3 beers. It's also the story of a brave man and Cuba's enduring fight against oppression.

The Saoco rum cocktail tradition stems from poverty among the campesinos in Cuba and the type of resourcefulness required to endure it.

The Caribbean has some of the world's best kitesurfing grounds, but kitesurfing Cuba? That can't be a thing, right? I mean, regular surfing is illegal here.

Classic American cars get the glory, but they're not the only way to get around Havana. Bicitaxis provide a more uncommon experience.

These days, when I dream of finally getting to really experience Cuba, my thoughts generally center peaceful environs like Playa La Boca.

At El Cocinero, those lucky enough to find themselves in Havana for a night can discover delectable dining, a vibrant bar scene, music, heady cocktails, and an outdoor terrace worthy of the trip alone.

Just fresh pressed sugarcane juice (with a dash of lime juice), the word guarapo was first recorded by Esteban Pichardo in his “Diccionario provincial de voces y frases cubanas” around 1875 as originating in the indigenous people's language. Add a little Havana Club to your guarapo for an even more energizing kick!
