For decades—centuries, actually—Ybor City has been regarded as the “cigar capital of the world,” and Tampa’s annual celebration of all-things tobacco is certainly keeping the historic district’s reputation going.

Tampa Cigar Week 2024 happens at various venues throughout the greater Bay area—from Cigars International Superstore in Brandon to North Ybor’s newly-renovated J.C. Newman Factory—and features a wide variety of events like rolling classes, meet and greets with industry professionals, comedy shows, golf tournaments, tasting and pairings, “cigar crawls” through the heart of Ybor City and a variety of themed parties at hotspots like 1920 Ybor and La Faraona Cigar Lounge.

Week-long tickets to all events run between $175-$275, but guests can also snag passes to individual parties.

More information and tickets to events happening March 6-10 as part of Tampa Cigar Week are available via thetampacigarweek.com.  Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
