Help Me Plan Our Central Florida Vacation

Just went to Ybor city last weekend. Place is a ball! Tampa Sweethearts is probably the best of the lot, but I admit that we only hit 8 or so shops. Most of the small cigar shops we saw seemed to have pretty much the same thing. Only bought one freshly hand-rolled and it was honestly horrible!
We missed a few Ybor area cigar shops and plan to road trip again to hit those, along with a visit to Cigar City Brewing co. That place is simply amazing!!! More beers on tap than should be allowed and a great selection at that! We hit a small local place to eat (Tropicana) on 7th and the frijoles negros & café con leche were superb!

There are several more cigar places in Tampa as well. You all could do Busch Gardens and the Florida Aquarium. Also a place over there known for smoked fish is Ted Peters.

Saint Augustine is cool. There are some places to drink and smoke.
Kennedy Space Center has some nice exhibits and tours.
Florida has changed a lot since you were last there. To see some "old Florida" a stop at Flagler Beach will take you back down memory lane. Have fun.
