What a delughtful surprise! As an area resident, I forget to be a tourist until house guests visit. This was a gem of a tour with a funny, expressive, well informed guide. We were taken through all 3 floors of this beautiful building and shown the process for both mechanized and hand rolled production. The history of cigar culture is deeply woven into Tampa and provided the economic engine that propelled the city in no small part to its prosperity even before it was discovered by tourists. The tour is well worth your time! Highly recommend!
Wir können uns den positiven Bewertungen für die Tour und die Company nur anschließen. Toll restauriertes Haus mit einer spannenden Geschichte. Unser Tourguide war wirklich mit viel Herzblut dabei und konnte mit viel Wissen punkten. Wir hatten lustigerweise Eric Newman persönlich in unserer Gruppe dabei, der danach noch für spannende Geschichten und Fotos bereit stand. Absolut zu empfehlen!!
Fantastic day touring the cigar factory. It is an iconic place and worth a couple of hours even if you don’t smoke cigars!
The guide was great. What a sharp guy and Ambassador for the place. Sad this is the only cigar factory left here in the USA.

An absolutely amazing tour! I’m a beginner cigar smoker, and I learned so much. Our tour guide was awesome. All the workers very friendly, and I really admire how they are trying to revive this craft/art in the United States. Towards the end we even had the President of J.C. Newman Cigar Co., Eric Newman, come say hello and give us a some history on the area of Ybor City. He was there to check up on his workers; you could tell he really cares about cigar business from the craft, workers, and environment.
Fantastic tour with a very knowledgeable guide. It was very impressive to see the operation and even more special to meet and have a little chat with both the president and vice president of the company (note, that is NOT officially part of the tour but was a sheer lucky coincident). The smells inside the facility are also simply amazing. If you are at all interested in cigars, this is the tour to take.
Good tour with lots of interesting details and facts about cigar making, the building, and the area. They are happy to answer questions and explain anything you ask about. Even if you don't smoke cigars it is an interesting tour and worth your time.
Plenty of free parking available on site.

Great day at the factory. Everyone is very welcoming. Has a family atmosphere. I took my dad for his birthday. We did the tour in the morning and the rolling class in the afternoon. We had a great day. I would highly recommend.
I did the factory tour and wow is it educational and awesome. This is a gem of Tampa history and it’s great that it’s still alive and working. If you are visiting the area, highly recommend (even if you don’t smoke cigars). The tour was a solid hour and fifteen minutes. The only thing missing is a cigar lounge, but they are building one across the street.
