Right from the start this tour was hands down the best tour we’ve ever been on. The comfort level we had with our guide was through the roof. He was knowledgeable about every place he brought us and shared experiences and culture about the cigar industry throughout each stop. We were a group of 11 guys and Jamal fit right in. Would totally recommend to anyone that wants the cigar experience of Tampa to book here!!
The Tampa Cigar Tour was such a great experience! It was not only fun, but also very informative. We got the opportunity to learn about the rich history and tradition of cigar making in Tampa and how cigars became such an important part of the city’s culture. Our tour guide did an amazing job bringing the history to life and sharing interesting facts and stories along the way. It was a great combination of education, culture, and enjoying the cigar experience. If you’re visiting Tampa and want to experience something unique while learning about the city’s history, I highly recommend the Tampa Cigar Tour! A wonderful experience from beginning to end! 🚬🌴🔥
Great experience 10/10! Jamal was an amazing tour guide!
Excellent experience! Jamal was a phenomenal tour guide; very knowledgeable, extremely personable and a great deal of fun! Shout outs from the “D” brother! We enjoyed!
It was Mothers Day when we booked this excursion and we learned so much from Jamal. It was a small group, treated us like he’s known us for years. We are fairly novice to cigars and left with a wealth of information. Absolutely incredible.
Jamal is an expert guide. He is very knowledgeable, personable, and made our time full of my great memories. Liga Privada No. 9
Jamal made the trip so much fun. He is extremely knowledgeable about making cigars and the history of the industry. He also knows a lot about the area. Loved the tour!
Our tour director, Jamal, was amazing! He was well versed not only in Ybor’s history but the cigar business as well. Living in the area for most of my life, we just never bothered to check out these local shops. I will say that will change! We have some new places to hang out at and more cigars to buy! My husband and I were both impressed with the Cathedral’s decor and history. The rooftop at the Sterling was very relaxing and the views were amazing! The Corona Cigar Lounge was such a relaxing spot to enjoy a cafe con leche and watch the people go by. Then we topped it off at La Faraona with the awesome decor and staff! Needless to say, we had the BEST time and my husband has a bag full of new cigars to try! Thank you Jamal, we will certainly send business your way!
