I have wanted to take this tour for over a year. I was finally able to work it into a trip to Tampa. If you enjoy cigars and the history of this business then the JC Newman factory and museum is a “must see” attraction.

I highly recommend this tour if you have an hour to spare. Holden did an awesome job as a tour guide. You not only get an up close experience into cigar making but you also get to see the inside workings of an old historic building with a basement, a rarity in the Tampa area. The tour itself is so fascinating. They have done a remarkable job taking you back in time to see each step of the cigar making process. There is a vast array of historic items to look at, feel and smell. I never knew that tobacco leaves could be so soft and they can have such a floral earthy smell. The building, the equipment, the different rooms and areas all have such a great story. It's so nice to see a local company preserve and continue the legacy for future generations to enjoy. You gain an in-depth knowledge of cigar making and you get to see the processes that are taken to create an excellent cigar. You can see the care that goes into making each hand rolled cigar. You can tell that the employees really love what they do at JC Newman. I don't smoke cigars but I have a great appreciation for what the Newman's have done to preserve a piece of history for all to see and enjoy. This tour includes several floors and they have an elevator if you can't take the stairs.

Excellent, fascinating tour. Worth it just to behold the cigar manufacturing machines alone. Host was excellent and took extra time with our small but mighty group

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I am interested in purchasing empty cigar boxes for the purpose of making three string Cigar Box Guitars. Is this possible? This would be great advertising.

Wendy Lustig | Sep 21, 2021

I don't recall seeing this as an option in their on-site store. You can purchase empty boxes for $1 or $2 at Cigars International. Two locations near Tampa (north - Lutz, South - Brandon). They carry JC Newman brand cigars, along with others.

Is this a location that is open to the public for tours and such? Are retail services and/or a lounge available?
