No Tatuaje or Illusione in those factories...and Pepin cigars aren't the same without TT supplying him anymore =/

As for Golfing, Central Florida has a lot of nice golf courses...The Bay Hill Tournament is played at Bay Hills about 5 minutes from Corona Cigar on Sand Lake. Orlando is especially nice for a family with all the theme parks, however it's 1.25 hours beaches to the east (Cocoa Beach), and 1.5 hours to the west coast (Tampa,Clearwater, St. Pete). Plus Corona cigars which should be at least a 1 time visit, to see the largest humidor, plus the largest distributer of cigars.

The further you go south, the less waves you have and if you go to the west side you won't have much. Miami's water is flat, as well as St. Pete...Cocoa Beach and north of it is where the surf is. Tampa does have the Hard Rock Casino which is about an hour and 15 minutes from Orlando. Miami's clubbing scene and gorgeous women is hard to pass up though...I mean we were at a Miami club near South Beach until 5 AM where we then proceded to Five Guys Burgers (which you MUST HAVE) right after =D... Hope this helps your decision

Well after much consideration and debate, we have decided on Tampa. Hotel has been booked, cigars are being packed as we speak!

We are leaving Feb 22nd and should hit tampa the 23rd. Returning straight to VA the 27th.

So what cigar shops/locations should i visit? What all exactly is in Ybor city these days?
