I’m not a cigar expert, nor do I smoke, but while I was on vacation in Tampa, my brother asked me to bring him some authentic Cuban cigars back home to Texas. After hearing that Ybor City was the place to find the best, I decided to stop by. Ulber, the owner’s brother, was incredibly helpful and patient as he guided me through the different options and helped me choose the perfect cigars for my brother. He was extremely friendly and took the time to show us around, share the history of the shop, and answer all of our questions. We had such a pleasant conversation, and his genuine hospitality made the experience even more memorable. Thank you, Ulber, for making us feel so welcome! Saludos desde San Antonio, TX!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited La Faraona Cigar Lounge in Ybor City, and it was an outstanding experience. The ambiance is upscale, welcoming, and perfect for relaxing with a premium cigar. The atmosphere is second to none, with comfortable seating, great music, and a true cigar lounge feel that makes you want to stay for hours. The lounge is designed specifically for cigar enthusiasts, with comfortable seating, TVs, and a relaxing patio area. The cigars are exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and expertly crafted. La Faraona is known for its handmade Cuban-style cigars and deep cigar-making heritage in Ybor City. If you're looking for the best cigar lounge experience in Tampa, this is a must-visit destination. Amazing cigars, amazing atmosphere, and top-notch hospitality. I highly recommend it to both seasoned cigar smokers and anyone looking to experience the rich cigar culture of Ybor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

La Faraona offered a nice chill spot to get away for a relaxing and friends atmosphere. The cigar was mild and flavorful. The Cuban expresso added a tasty refreshing touch. The staff, locals, and guests were cordial and welcoming. I highly recommend it if you're looking for somewhere a little bit away from crowd.

Visited for work, 100/10 hospitality. Amazing selection of cigars. Relaxing environment able to get my work done. The owner made the place feel like home she is genuine m. Would recommend anyone in the area to check it out. Able to catch the games as well.

Literally the best café con leche in all of Ybor! They make you feel like family when you walk in the door. Probably some of the best cigars I've ever had. I highly recommend the sweet cigars with the sugar cane tip... It adds a whole new dimension to the cigar and the experience.
