There was a couple people ahead of us and a lot of people that ended up coming in behind us. The two staffers were nice.

Newman's staff is very friendly and receptive to all of your questions about cigars and cigar manufacturing. It does get busy during the daily tours, but the staff makes an effort to give everyone personalized attention and service. It is apparent that people enjoy working for the J.C. Newman company and sharing their experiences with others. The tour is a very generous experience. You will be fascinated and will not be disappointed. Service: From answering the phone, to leading the cigar factory tours, and selecting the right cigar for your occasion, the staff at J.C. Newman shares their thorough knowledge and passion for cigar making. Housekeeping: The entire plant, the museum, the cigar shop, and the restrooms are very well maintained. It is quite exceptional for an active production site to be this tidy. Having the daily tours encourages extraordinary housekeeping since cigars could be considered food grade items. Atmosphere: If you love cigars, this is the place for you. You'll enjoy the aromas of the tobacco aging process. You'll get a hands-on experience of the tobacco leaves that go into the production of the cigars. From the cigar production lines in the main production area to the hand rolling stations on the third floor, you'll gain an appreciation for the different grades and price points of fine cigars. The beautifully maintained historical building has unique architecture that is designed for cigar manufacture. If you are the type of person who goes into a cigar lounge and complains about the smoke, well... , there are many other places in Tampa that would be better suited for you. Conclusion: You have to experience this tour to truly appreciate cigars. Anyone who enjoys history will be fascinated by the various displays and the technology that goes into producing fine cigars. J.C. Newman is very generous, and you will be well rewarded for the modest ticket price for the tour. Cigar 101 and Cigar Rolling experiences are also available. I did not avail myself of these experiences during my visit, but would love to return and learn even more about the great cigars that we all enjoy. A hotel and cigar lounge are being built across the street from the cigar company. One of my regrets is that there was no cigar lounge inside the factory to relax and enjoy a J.C. Newman cigar in the Tampa, Florida ambiance. It would seem to be the best way to end the tour in a cigar lounge to taste the various cigars and chat with the staff. Once the cigar lounge is available across the street, customers will be able to enjoy their cigars after the tour. Other cigar manufacturing sites that I've read about show employees smoking cigars on site while working. While the U.S. does have smoking bans against smoking in businesses, it still looks very cool to smoke cigars while making cigars. It just does. It seems like the other countries that manufacture cigars all do this. Cigar culture is different. It's all about relaxing, enjoying high quality cigars, and making friends. J.C. Newman is a great introduction into the world of cigars even if you don't currently enjoy cigars. I noted that many guests were eager to try the cigars for the first time after the tour.

My friend asked the employee if the vape bar was fake (only due to suspicious label packaging) and he threatened to call the police if he would not leave. I should ALSO mention that.. whilst he was threatening one of my friends, he was also preventing my girlfriend from even continuing her transaction just because he was upset with the fact he got asked if his products were fake. 1/10 overall experience and I would NOT waste your time here. To whomever owns this establishment-- As a small business owner myself, I would highly recommend taking prompt action with the employee before he makes your business lose out on future clientele.
