This historic cigar factory is making 65,000 cigars a day on hand-operated machines from 1931.
That's Bobby Newman, the third-generation owner of the J.C. Newman Cigar Factory, speaking to the charms of exploring Ybor City's last remaining cigar factory.
However, when he was 19, he lost his job amid national economic turmoil, which prompted him to start rolling cigars of his own in his family's barn. Cigar orders quickly flowed in, some reaching up to 10,000 at a time, and Julius needed to hire more makers to keep up. Today, the J.C. Newman Cigar Factory aims to make about 65,000 cigars a day, working on hand-operated machines from 1931.
Bobby's nephew, Drew Newman, was the brains behind renovating the factory into a three-story working museum. Beyond guided tours and educational films, J.C. Newman will soon offer cigar-rolling classes for the public.
