I'll be in Tampa for New Years and I hear there are a bunch of local rollers and good b&m's down there-anybody know of any??
You have to check out Ybor City - I was down there a few years ago for an interview, and I went to a couple of places. The cigar heritage of that area is amazing.
nwb
Ybor City does have quite a cigar heritage. There are a few shops with rollers on hand there, which is interesting and neat to check out. Quite a few shops within walking distance of each other. I have posted a few shops worthy pf visiting, the best IMO is Cigar Cave in Palm Harbor, a drive from Ybor. Second would be Tampa Humidor. Both are listed here under Cigar Places. I have sent you my cell # if you need more info
Checkout TampaHumidor as they have a great place there to look at cigars, humidors and a great lounge area. If they had a bed there I'd stay over night.

If you like Tampa Humidor, you will really appreciate Cigar Cave, IMO nicer than TPA Humidor
Thanks for the email Don, I might have to give you a call when I'm down there because I do want to explore Ybor City.
no problrm. I live across the bay from tampa so I am familiar with Ybor
Funny thing about Ybor City, when I was growing up in Lakeland, Ybor was known as one of the rougher areas in Tampa, strip joints, dive bars, some cool little Cuban cafes, etc.
I haven't been ther since those days, but everything I've heard or seen about it looks like the strip joints, dive bars, and family run cafes have been replaced with trendy clubs and fancy restaraunts with lots of neon and bling, and higher prices.
