Tampa Bay hand-rolled CIGARS

One of Tampa's oldest cigar-manufacturing companies provides the market's hottest ingredient. Gonzalez Habana Cigar Company sells twelve different hand-rolled organic tobacco cigars. Using Dominican Republic, Ecuadorian, and Indonesian organic tobaccos, owners, Wallace & Margarita Reyes, individually rolls each smoke, carefully bunching leaves, wrapping tobacco, and sealing the cigars. Reyes is one of the Tampa's last masters cigar makers, able to create, by hand, every style and size of cigar, and licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to buy tobacco as a raw material. From his small shop, Reyes markets more than forty types of hand-rolled cigars through local retailers and online. 3304 W. Columbus Drive, Suite C, Tampa, 813-348-0343 or www.cigarsoftampa.com
