Left in their original state, they exude a charmingly dilapidated look that is part of Cuba&#8217;s unique charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">F\u00e1brica de Tabacos Francisco Donati\u00e9n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally a prison built in the 19th century, the blue building that now houses the F\u00e1brica de Tabacos Francisco Donati\u00e9n offers visitors the opportunity to discover the secrets of Cuban cigar production.
