You step out of the warm Caribbean light into a pink house on Calle Duarte — flowers spilling from wooden boxes, a bell that tinkles like an invitation. The guide greets the small group and, within minutes, you're guided into a dim shop where oak barrels, glass demijohns, and rows of cigar boxes hum with island stories.
