billyh79 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I will be about an hour away at the beach for a week. Is there anything worth traveling up to Tampa to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meesterjojo Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 My guy. Heck yes. Tampa sweethearts is an absolute must if you've ever enjoyed an Arturo Fuente cigar. It's a family owned owned operated cigar lounge. I buy my Hemingways from their online store. Get your photo taken with a Fuente. Grand cathedral cigars is pretty cool. My last visit I stumbled into ceunca cigars, which I enjoyed for awhile. Beware of ordering online though. The lady that owns is was a roller back in cuba. In her 40s. Anyway, Tampa sweethearts and the cathedral are musts for me. Sort of like stopping at a stuckys or a buccees on a roadtrip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibearsv Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Ybor City - The Columbia Restaurant for lunch - they have a huge lunch menu - I loved their Cuban Sandwich and Bean Soup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyh79 Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 Thanks for the responses… going to head up early one morning. Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas.Alpha Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Off the beaten track of Ybor, but if you find yourself on I 75 there is a shop about a mile East of 75 off of Causeway/Lumsden exit called Cutters Cigar. A cigar smokers’s shop, best selection in Tampa. I’ve been trying to get the shopkeep Alex to become an FOH, but he considers anything on the internet “social media.” 100+ beers available. Kind of the Connoisseur’s corner in Tampa. Comfy chairs! Side note: If you’re headed to Ybor, take the Selmon expressway. They will charge by plate (even out of state) Most of the time, I 4 is somewhat like a parking lot after a football game... 😡 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StogieSteve23 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Grand Cathedral Cigars is phenomenal. Definitely go if you’re in the area. Colombia restaurant is fantastic food. Both have been mentioned already but worth going to 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
