I used Jorge to make a run from Havana Centro to Hector Louis farm. It was 150.00 round trip, 5 hours on the road plus farm visit time. I know he also is great for local tours and usually charges 100 for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garagedragon Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was wanting to know how much Jorge charges to drive from Havana to HLP farm, and back. It looks like you answered perfectly. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bords Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Can confirm Jorge is the best and was the highlight of our two days in Havana. He took us around old Havana then Cigar shopping, finishing off at the Nacional. Great guy and great guide!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokinNukie Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I booked Jorge again for two days this past weekend. He’s still a gem imho. We had some great and new experiences which I will detail when I get time. Good stuff. Btw, he also got me into the Partagas factory for a private tour.

Any chance of an El Laguito tour?I don’t think that he has a contact for that one quite yet, but give him time as he hasn’t been at this cigar tour gig for very long.

GotaCohiba Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Just finished 3 more days with Arturo that included day trips to Vinales and Veradero. I'd go back to Veradero, but would skip a return trip to Vinales and instead head back to Hector's farm for custom rolls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to make the trip next time. How long does it take to get out there? And does he have plenty available or do I have to make an order ahead of time?

It’s a 2-2.5 hr drive each way and when I was there he had plenty pre rolled and ready for purchase Still wouldn’t hurt to reach out to him in advance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippiemoose Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Just got back from Vacation on Sunday, I spent 4 days in Havana and 3 days with Jorge. Jorge is a great guy, and very knowledgeable and if you are considering using him as a driver definitely reach out and see if he is available you wont be disappointed.

I can also vouch for Arturo with the highest recommendation and praise. The best choice by far for trips to the shops, the utmost reliability and safe & comfortable modern vehicle with a/c. He just put new tires on his vehicle and has seat belts in the back. We have gone numerous days and Arturo is always early and is great with the shop staff and my family. PM if you want more info and contact. I will make sure you’re not going the same time we are, though!!!???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElJavi76 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Jorge reached out to me last night with updated contact info. He's going with a Gmail account since the nauta service just isn't reliable enough. Feel free to contact him thru any of his channels, including Facebook (taxis clavijo) and Instagram (taxi.cuba.clavijo). His new email is: [email protected] Cheers! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmf30180 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days with Jorge this past weekend. This was my second trip with him. He goes above and beyond for all of his clients. He's both professional and personable. I cannot recommend his services enough. From what I have heard, this may be the only image of Jorge with a lit cigar in his hand. Hector was teasing him that he always tells people how great his cigars are, but had never smoke one personally. I thought is was a great candid moment between friends. FWIW, Jorge is absolutely correct. When leaving us on our last day with him, he made sure to tell us that should anything happen and we need any assistance, to reach out to him. That's the kind of service you get with Jorge. I believe WhatsApp is the easiest way to reach him, and he is always quick to respond. (I sent the pic to him and asked his permission to post it here) Also, a huge shoutout to Hector for taking the time to sit and chat with us. He is a very busy man this time of year and was beyond a gracious host. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boopdeep Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I highly recommend Arturo. Great guy, very reliable and punctual, and has great contacts in cigar shops as he was in the industry for 25 years. We used him for 4 days in November, and there is no question that I'll be using him for every trip from here on out. Here's his contact (very responsive on WhatsApp) : 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met Jorge with Javi in November, very nice guy. I must give him a call when I'm in Havana next. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I met Jorge last trip a few times as he was driving FOH friends and can only confirm all the praise for him, he is a great guy and guide. Funny to see Arturo Mejuto mentioned here, have known him for many, many years through Festival meetings and he is also a great guy, used to be HSA guy in Canada, serious, I am very certain he is good to have around in Havana.
