Customer's reviews

I can't say enough good things about this place. Found it via the cigars community on Reddit while I was making a day trip to Tampa from Orlando. First off, the man running the place, Steve, was one of the nicest and friendliest people I've ever met. Told me what each cigar in their selection was like, picked out a few for me and a lady friend. We smoked them in the factory while sipping on cuban coffee made in house. The rollers up front were fun to watch, there were tall stacks of cigars and tobacco being cured behind them. The atmosphere felt like I'd left the US for a few minutes. Would go back in a heartbeat. Also- lots of chickens outside, but thats just Ybor. Ask Steve about them, he'll tell you a good story about why there are so many running around. ~ AJ
An interesting experience. The owners were cordial, and was more than willing to explain to us the uninitiated about cigars and showed us around the shop. They were passionate and eager to spread the joy of cigar appreciation. There were workers from Havana who rolled the cigars right in front of us. We watched deferentially until we approached one, and found that they were also enthusiastic, and even let one of us roll a cigar. It has a small espresso bar that makes a great cuban espresso shot which went really well with the cigar we tried. Never knew how well they could go together. The ambience is relaxed, clean, and showed much care from the people running it. We ended up becoming enthused ourselves about the art. It's a great place to stop by, even if you never smoke cigars. ~ YS C
