On April 13, 1886, the first cigar was rolled in Ybor City. A moment that shaped a neighborhood, a culture, and a legacy.

This year, we invite you to be part of that story.

Join us on 7th Avenue in front of Hotel Haya as we come together as a community to honor Ybor’s past and participate in its living history. In a symbolic tribute, 140 hands will come together to roll a single cigar, guided by professional cigar rollers, representing the generations of craftsmanship that built this city.
