I have a feeling though this is a Friday night hang out for the R&B, Rap and boots on the ground crew. Not sure about any other days or nights of rhe week.

JR Cigar Outlet is a welcoming and friendly cigar store and lounge for both new enthusiasts and…read moreseasoned cigar lovers. It was happenstance that I stumbled upon JR Cigar Outlet (was actually on Busch Boulevard after stopping at Level Up Cigar Lounge to find that it was closed). Sitting off Busch Boulevard (580) and being easily accessible from both west and eastbound directions just after/before the railroad track crossing, JR Cigar is conveniently situated close to the I-275-Florida-Nebraska-trio throughways. Honestly, I feel that it's a great location for those living just north of Tampa and the USF-area. I was initially discouraged by the word "Outlet" in its name (implying that it was more of a retail venue as opposed to a sit-in spot) since I was looking more for a lounge to sit and enjoy a cigar, but was happily mistaken after discovering that JR Cigar is more than that. I came on a Saturday evening to find plenty of parking. There are two rows - one that is right up against the establishment with the other row backed up to the sidewalk of the Busch Boulevard. Upon walking in, I was politely and warmly welcomed by Julio. It is notable that I did not get blasted by the usually strong smell and smoke of cigars as I entered (yes - kind of a weird ask for a cigar lounge and perhaps it was due to the fairly tame crowd), but I could also assume that JR Cigar has a pretty outstanding ventilation system. The setup of the main floor offers a natural flow, with counter seating that wraps around a bar at the center of the venue. There are a variety of lounge chairs and sofas to either side of the bar which are then complimented with TVs, creating smaller grouped areas. Immediately to the left as you enter, you will easily be able to distinguish the cigar room itself with the entirely see through glass panes and windows. It was nice to see that this was its own separate humidor room as opposed to having the cigars sit in the open lounge area like Corona Cigar Company. There is definitely an active management system that is maintaining the appropriate levels of climate to ensure the quality of the products within. There is a vast selection of cigars that are neatly organized and maintained. Additionally, the pricing of the selections is incredibly competitive (arguably some of the best prices I've seen), with clearly marked sales as well as promotions in sections both in the humidor room and the open lounge areas. The vibe was entirely chill and friendly at JR Cigar. It seemed that most, if not all, of the patrons there were established clients. Everyone seemed to be super friendly and inviting. Julio and his team were incredibly wonderful, serving beverages and providing knowledge and advice when it comes to picking out a cigar. Overall, JR Cigar is a great hang out spot if you're looking to simply enjoy a cigar or if you're seeking some social interaction and conversation. I highly recommend to anyone that is looking to try a cigar or those experienced veterans!

Their selection of cigars is huge, & they have all the other types of tobacco you could think of. I didn't ask about snuff but I'm sure they have it. Looking for a Cigar to puff on?

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.
