The cigar industry in Tampa and the city’s eventual moniker as the “Cigar Capital of the World” can be greatly attributed to Vicente Martinez-Ybor, who arrived in Tampa in 1885 at the age of 67, bringing the industry to the region and founding what is known today as Ybor City.
Reservations are $20 for general admission, $10 for students with valid ID, and FREE for Ybor City Museum Society Members. Available through October 17. Admission at the door is $25.
