The Last Remaining Cigar Factory Continues Heritage
The J.C. Newman Cigar Factory has outlived all its competitors, since taking over the E. Regensburg and Sons Cigar Factory at 2701 N 16th St in 1954, the factory has continued its work producing thousands of cigars a day using the same 1930s technology and hand rolled techniques that were once prevalent in the Tampa cigar industry which once boasted over 150 cigar factories.
