Miami’s coffee culture is an integral part of the city’s long traditional and vibrant

identity. The rich flavors, cultural heritage, and community connections create a

tapestry as rich and beautiful as the city. Miami’s Café Cubano, as the name

suggests, is rooted in the traditions of Cuba. Cafecito, as it is commonly referred

to, is not only a beverage; it can be a ritual, a social catalyst, and a bold

representation of the city’s heritage. The aromatic notes of robust Cafecito are a

perfect complement to the earthy richness of a well-crafted cigar. This

combination isn’t a simple indulgence: it’s a celebration of Miami’s cultural fusion

where the boldness of coffee intertwines with the pleasure of a fine hand-rolled

cigar.

Miami is known for its cigar culture. You can find a heavy heritage presence almost anywhere you look. There are numerous cigar factories, stores, and lounges spread throughout the city.

Caldwell Cigar Co. was the main sponsor, so we thought that we would sit down with Robert Caldwell, himself, and pick his brain on Caldwell Cigars, Destination HERF, and some exciting launches that you can look forward to this year.
