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!

The tour was well-paced, authentic, and genuinely memorable. Highly recommend
Great tour! Jamal was awesome, you do not need to be a cigar aficionado to enjoy this tour. The tour hit some great locations and everyone was very welcoming.
Amazing experience. 1 of the best tours I’ve ever been on. So much fun. Lots of knowledge and interesting places visited.
Jamal was amazing 👏🏾! Extremely well versed on the cigar culture and history in Tampa. He was adaptive to his passengers and engaging. The bus was very comfortable, clean, and the sound system was great. Jamal has a great reputation with the vendors and the discount was an extra bonus. Besides the cigar portion, he was a great resource of knowledge about things to do in Tampa and surrounding area. Highly recommended 👌🏾
A must do! Such a great time. Jamal is so knowledgeable and fun. He makes the experience awesome! My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves. The last stop was so chill felt like I was dragging my husband out. Go Do This Tour!!
