Book Synopsis
From the founding of Ybor City in 1886 to the dispersal of Tampa’s Latin population in the years following World War II, Tampa’s Cigar Workers documents the history of the Cuban, Spanish, and Italian immigrants who created the cigar industry in Tampa and the extraordinary multi-ethnic community that flourished around it.

Trade Review
Tampa cigar workers were people of such strength and vision that their influence on Tampa endures to this day. Read Tampa Cigar Workers to understand why so many native Tampa residents are proud to say they are the descendants of laborers who spent their days handling tobacco leaves—and building a better life for their families and the city." - Tampa Tribune

"The various images that fill the book and the timely quotes from contemporary sources and reminiscences that bolster these images make this collection a true treasure." - Florida Historical Quarterly
