Manufactured in Puerto Rico, Hav-A-Tampa Cigars feature Caribbean basin Cuban seed filler and a birch tip, providing a distinctive look and smooth smoking experience. Florida Tobacco Shop carries two varieties:

Both deliver a mellow, mild flavor with a fragrant smoke, but the Sweet variety is known for its hint of sweetness.

Hav-A-Tampa’s cigars used to be hand-made, but today the company utilizes modern machine technology to create an even smoke that never fails to satisfy. The brand continues to be a comfortable fit for cigar aficionados, with a taste that is flavorful, smooth, mild, and consistent.

Hav-A-Tampa Jewels are the top seller in the line. The orange box with fashionable lady is the gateway to fine smoking, many say. The tobacco stays put in the tightly rolled wrapper. A plastic tip keeps tobacco from getting in the mouth and filters the smoke evenly. It burns smoothly, creating sweet-smelling plumes of smoke that are aromatic and mild, not harsh at all. The burn is magnificent as it quickly smokes down to the tip.

The brand has a long, illustrious history dating to 1902. It was one of the first totally American-owned and made, with Jewels beginning production in 1931. The brand took off when ownership began shipping cigars to U.S. military installations worldwide. It was manufactured in Ybor City, Tampa—hence the Hav-A-Tampa name—and sold almost a billion cigars annually through the 1990s.

The wood tip on these machine-made cigars offers a secure grip and prevents saliva from saturating the cigar during a smoking session. They beautifully complement the cigar's look and flavor while contributing a woodsy aroma as you inhale. Cigar smokers who wear lip balm and lipstick will appreciate how the wood tip prevents the homogenized tobacco leaf wrapper and bits of tobacco from sticking to their lips during a smoke break.

Since its inception, the company has been an innovator in cigar making and smoking wood-tipped cigars. It introduced wood-tipped small cigar smoking and was the first company to employ machines to roll cigars. The company also underwent turbulent financial times through the 1990s and was sold several times, first to Tabacalera—Madrid, Spain's largest tobacco manufacturer—and then to Altadis U.S.A.

In 2008, the company was sold to Imperial Tobacco, an English producer. Imperial closed its Tampa facilities and relocated operations to Puerto Rico. Wherever Hav-A-Tampa wood-tipped cigars are made, however, they're popular and will continue to be smoked and sold for years to come.
