Today's Smoke 2023

La Faraona Don Many Gold Label Gordo…

A little history if you are interested..

La Faraona Cigars was created in Havana in 1987 within the manufacturing company of Jose Manuel Guira. Pictured on the band is the owner, and also a Master Torcedora, Odelma Matos. She was introduced to cigar rolling at age 16 by her father, a Tabaqeuros, in Cuba. She continued to learn the art of cigar rolling for 17 years, until her family emigrated to the US in 2010, where she pursued her dream of owning her own business, and introducing the La Faraona brand, and it’s Cuban roots, to a whole new generation of lovers of quality cigars. She currently owns two storefronts with lounges, and an online store. All of the La Faraona cigars are rolled locally in the heart of Ybor City, Florida. When she has time, Odelma still shows up at her little table in the corner and rolls upwards of 50 cigars an hour. And it continues today to be a family business. All of the rollers in the store are members of her family, including her sons and brothers. Even her granddaughter is already learning to roll cigars. And she’s only 3 years old!

…and this is one of the reasons I love living near Tampa! Sorry for the long post…
