Ybor City: The History of Cigars in America

There are many places in the world that are seemingly built for cigars, places with factories and roads paved of tobacco, places where leaves blossom freely and cigars are always lit. One of these places is Ybor City. Known now as a hotspot for bars and nightclubs, Ybor City was once known as the Cigar Capital of the World.



Ybor City is a historic district in Tampa, Florida. It was named after Vincent Martinez Ybor, a Spaniard who immigrated to Cuba at the age of 14. Starting off as a cigar salesman, Vincent Ybor eventually began to manufacturer the cigars he previously sold: he started his own cigar factory in Havana. But, this time in Havana was a time of unrest, and a time on the brink of a war. As the Cuban Revolution raged, Vincent Ybor moved his factory and his workers to Key West, Florida.



The success of the relocation fluctuated: Ybor?s business was profitable, but labor and transportation problems kept true success evasive. A friend of Ybor, Gavino Guiterrez, convinced him to investigate Tampa as a place to set up cigar roots. Tampa offered the climate, the water, and the transportation necessary for a productive operation.



Ybor was sold on the Tampa idea and purchased a large acreage of land in 1886 and not only started a business, but started a town. This area, built for the purpose of housing Ybor?s factories and his factory workers, became fittingly known as Ybor City.



Following the lead of Ybor, other cigar manufacturers moved to this area and by the close of the 19th Century, Ybor City and Tampa had the honor of being the largest cigar manufacturer in the world. Not to be outdone by the expansion of the industry it held, the area itself also saw a population boom as well. When Ybor City was incorporated by Tampa into municipality, the population shot up to 3000, three years later that number nearly doubled.



It was truly home to the cigar industry. Most of the residents made their living making cigars and those who weren?t rollers often found jobs in a cigar-related trade. Some made cigar boxes and some made cigar bands, others owned restaurants where ?No Smoking? signs never hanged from the window. It was also a melting pot of cultures, home to a variety of Spanish, Italian, African and Cuban immigrants. For many, English was a second language. It was this diversity of groups that grabbed onto the cigar industry, setting the culturist tempo of a worldly luxury.



As more factories were built, Ybor City became the headquarters for cigar production, out producing even Havana. At the center of this was Ybor - he offered aid and monetary gain to reel manufacturers in from Cuba. By the 1900?s, Ybor City was known as the ?Cigar Capital of the World.?



Ybor City continued to grow and prosper, but the world around it did not. The Great Depression, the popularity of cigarettes, the prevalence of organized crime in the area, and the introduction of cigar-rolling machinery all led to Ybor City?s demise. This was compounded when the owners of machine made cigars started a ?Spit Campaign,? a campaign stating that saliva from the cigar rollers often found its way into a finished cigar. This drastically hurt the businesses based on hand rolling cigars and by the 1930?s, as machines replaced workers and Cubans went back to their homeland, Ybor City was the capital no more.



There was an attempt to preserve the history and culture of the area. Presently, it?s one of only three National Historic Landmarks districts in Florida. A place still worth visiting, it is not longer the cigar Mecca it once was; the ashes of its previous life were laid to rest in a permanent part of cigar history.

The World Market for Cigars, Cheroots, and Cigarillos Made with Tobacco: A 2004 Global Trade Perspective

The World Market for Cigars, Cheroots, and Cigarillos Made with Tobacco: A 2004 Global Trade Perspective
OUR APPROACH

This report was created for strategic planners, international executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for cigars, cheroots, and cigarillos made with tobacco. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics that appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for cigars, cheroots, and cigarillos made with tobacco for those countries serving the world market via exports or supplying from various countries via imports. I do so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the world market face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying cigars, cheroots, and cigarillos made with tobacco? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of cigars, cheroots, and cigarillos made with tobacco vary from one country to another? Do exporters serving the world market have similar market shares across the importing countries? Which countries supply the most exports of cigars, cheroots, and cigarillos made with tobacco? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing the regional markets for imported and exported cigars, cheroots, and cigarillos made with tobacco. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for each region, is based on a model which aggregates across country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares
