Who the heck is that guy on the left?

Seriously, this is very cool! It's really nice when we get to meet the people responsible for these great cigars that we all love.

The new Tampa Sweethearts is much nicer than the old Tampa Seethearts since you can actually go inside! I remember the old days when you orderd through a window.

Shame they tore that historic building down for a parking lot but at least now you can meet people and smoke a cigar there without having to hang out in the parking lot!

Yep...it was pretty badass. walked in and was shocked to see him. I also picked up a few of the YborCity branded smokes.

That's cool! I guess he was passed over when Arturo, Sr. sold the company to his brother in 1958 for $1

I have smoked many a cigar in TS with Arturo. He and his crew are awesome people.
