The self-proclaimed world’s largest cigar festival is back.
For more than three decades, stogie smokers have been gathering in the city built on rolling cigars.
The no-cover event brings hand-made cigar makers and sellers from around the world to Ybor’s Centennial Park, where there will be cigar rolling demonstrations, drinks, food trucks, and local artisans.
This year also features a garden lounge by Fort Mose Whiskey.
There is no cover for the Ybor City Cigar Festival, happening Sunday, Dec. 7 in Ybor City.
