Back in the 1960s, Little Havana originated as the home to many Cuban exiles. The community prospered and the Cuban population eventually moved to other parts of Miami. Traces of the Cuban presence, however, can still be found in some of the original businesses found on SW 8th Street. El Credito Cigars, a leading tobacco factory located in the heart of Little Havana, is as much a historic landmark as it is a thriving business. Whether you're a cigar connoisseur or just curious about the craft, a visit to El Credito Cigars is sure to be quite an experience.

With the exception of a faded Spanish sign that reads "Established in Havana, Cuba in 1907," the simple structure is barely recognizable. But beyond the shabby exterior, visitors can witness world-class cigar making in the old Cuban tradition. A family-owned business, El Credito produces top quality handmade cigars including the distinguished brand, La Gloria Cubana. The secret behind this tradition of excellence lies within the unique special blend in each brand and the perfectionist attitude in each worker. Most of the workers are Cubans who had mastered the art of rolling tobacco back in the old country. In the Cuban custom, each cigar is entirely and carefully crafted by the same person. The result of this individual attention is simply an outstanding product with a rich flavor, recognized as one of the best by several aficionados.

El Credito Cigars claims to offer the next best thing to a genuine Cuban cigar for a great price. Cigars are sold individually or by the masses at both wholesale and retail cost.
