Scent or taste of Cuba: what to bring back from this sunny country

Cuba is one of the most exotic tourist destinations, so travelers have always been eager to bring a piece of its culture back home. After all, there is hardly a better way to cherish memories of our trip than through souvenirs.

Many people say that Cuba is like the candy store of the world. There is a rich tradition of things to consider while shopping here, writes NewsBytes.

The first thing that comes to mind is the famous cigars, which hold national importance in Cuba and are renowned souvenirs known all over the world. You'll come across numerous stores offering this product in every corner of the country. They are available in different flavors such as leather, cedar, spice, pepper, etc. However, it's important to check the laws of your country to see if you are allowed to bring cigars.

Cuban handicrafts are also popular among tourists. Skillful and talented artists produce everything from jewelry and paintings to ceramic products such as bowls, cups, and plates. They are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, designs, patterns, and colors. They make great accessories or home decor items.

Another famous product from Cuba is Havana Club rum. This is a local rum company that has gained international distribution due to its mild taste and aroma. With this in mind, it's a no-brainer for you to get a bottle or two when you shop.

And if you want to experience the essence of Cuba, you can bring home Habana 1791 perfume. A local landmark from the 18th century, this brand offers 12 exquisite scents, including jasmine, rose, lemon, tobacco, sandalwood, yin-yang, orange blossom, lilac, vetiver, patchouli, lavender, and violet.

Finally, another traditional Cuban product is local coffee. Don't miss out on Cuban coffee, which is harvested in the Sierra Maestra mountains. You can find many local brands, among which you can choose the one that will brew the perfect cup for you. Additionally, the coffee sold here is of the highest quality, containing 100% natural ingredients, and blending flavors.
