Scheduled a cigar rolling class for my husbands birthday. Thank you Manny for the great experience. This place is first class. Definitely will be back
Excellent very nice place, good attention and good tobacco. I recommend it.
First time visiting this store. Awesome experience. Odelma is very accommodating. Will be back in Tampa soon and will be definitely visiting her shop again!
Absolutely the best of Ybor! Odelma and everyone else we met was so knowledgeable and kind. She taught my husband how to roll cigars which was the highlight of our vacation! We will definitely be back whenever we are in Tampa.
Excellent customer service. This will be my first stop when I come back to the Tampa area!I look forward to buying her cigars online so I can enjoy at home.
I tried something different and hit the jackpot with La Farona Solomon Natural cigar.
Friendly environment. They make you feel right at home. Cigars are excellent, the owner Odelma and Rene are beautiful souls who makes you feel like family every time.
From the moment we entered the establishment we felt welcomed! We do not smoke cigars but was there to buy as a hospitality gift for a friend whose a loves cigars. They were very patient and knowledgeable - we picked the perfect cigars so much so that now our friend wants to order the same ones for delivery to ATL! The Owner Odelma also rolled a special designer cigar for me in honor of my birthday!
Such a good vibe here, especially the back area with the small koi pond, perfect to relax for a minute and breath in something sweet.
I am so thankful for having the opportunity to visit the shop Super Bowl Saturday! I spent maybe 60 dollars on cigars and the gentleman on the cash register was so gracious to sale me a case that was placed under the register to take my sticks home! I wish I was able to purchase more at the time, but next time I’m in the area I will make it my point to stop by and purchase again. Thank you all for your precious treatment for me.

Just left my FAVORITE Hand Rolled Cigar Shop in YBOR City LA FARAONA. As usual she takes care of me. I’m from Jacksonville, Fl. And no matter when I’m in Tampa this is a must hit spot before I head home. Thanks LA FAROANA
I stumbled into this shop years ago and keep returning every trip to Tampa. They are always very friendly and I love their cigars.
Can’t say enough good things about this place. My girlfriend set up a cigar rolling class for me with the shop owner. Such a cool one on one experience, learning how to roll cigars from one of the best in the business. The entire staff and family were so kind. Not to mention the cigars were fantastic. I often buy cigars in Ybor City but this just became my new favorite spot!
Cool place to visit, great cigars
If youre looking for authentic Cuban cigars and some of the best Cuban coffee in Tampa, please visit this place. They make you feel at home and have a nice variety of cigars for you to choose from. From the owner to every employee, they make you feel at home. Trust me you wont regret it!!!!
This is really a family business, they take the time to tell you about how they started and the difficult kind of cigars they have. I also like that they have cigar rolling classes to at least teach you the basics. That was fun. The owner Faraona is a very sweet person who cares about her customers. The best part is the coffee. She made me feel like Im at home and like family. Thank you and God Bless.
Incredible selection of hand rolled cigars with the best customer service!
If you are going to Ybor city to find great cigars be sure to stop in La Faraona. Everyone I’ve ever given one of the cigars to absolutely loves them. Fresh rolled right at this location. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and can help you with any of your needs. Be sure to stop and tell them hi. Even if you just pick up one cigar and smoke it out front you won’t regret it. And I promise you will be back.
Always a great time! I visit Tampa just for La Faraona! Its the only place that feels like home to me! Great, authentic people + Odelma is the best! The best cigars at the best price. Come stock your whole humidor here!
Excellent Cigars and excellent customer service! There was an issue that developed from one of the orders that I placed. I called, and they sent out 10 cigars immediately to make it right. Could not be more happy with this shop and the customer service it caters to its clientele!
This place is great! They treat you like family! The queen herself gives you her undivided attention. If you want a great family oriented atmosphere I strongly recommend! Been coming here for years & will continue too! Some of the top cigars in the Tampa area.
I bought a few cigars here about 2 months ago and spoke with the owner. She was very nice and helped me pick them out. I just smoked one of them after it sat in my humidor and all I can say is, Wow! I will definitely be purchasing more in the near future.
10000000% best cigars in ybor. Family owned and operated. Best taste
Excellent service Excellent cigars👌🏾
Every time we come down from D.C. to visit Tampa, we always stop by and purchase cigars from La Faraona. We are never disappointed! The cigars are wonderful, staff is incredibly charismatic and friendly, and we always enjoy watching cigars being hand-rolled while we look at all the cigar offerings. This is definitely a need-to-visit place in Ybor City.
Attended a wedding in Ybor today, stopped in to bring some sticks home. Very impressive cigars, already enjoyed 2, need to make a return trip now.Very knowledgeable, helped me with a humidor issue Im having. Thank you so much!!
The lady inside this place was so helpful, and makes a great shot of espresso.I walked in just for the espresso but left with two cigars and other fine tobacco products. Not knowing anything about cigars, she was very acknowledgeable and helped me get something i would enjoy as a newby.Definitely will be returning here!
I have always had a great experience at this shop. The cigars are always delightful, the atmosphere is nice, the staff is very knowledgeable. I love this place
I go up there from Sarasota every couple months to replenish my humidor. Best cigars in Ybor and for the money best anywhere.Can buy 25 sticks any size or body for $100 cash. Love the family business there also. Cuban
Visiting family in St.Pete and took a trip to Ybor City. I was looking to get some cigars and ended up coming here. We walked in and were kindly greeted by Odelma. She was so knowledgeable, personable, and kind to me and my family. The cigars we picked out were fantastic! This cigar shop is a must visit while you are in Ybor city, I will definitely be back.
A nice place. Decent people and cigars. There are good cigars. Better cigars at other places just down the road. Stop in if you have not fallen in love with cigars elsewhere
I live in Lakeland and travel once a month to restock at La Faraona. From day one this Lady won my heart and business. Everyone else just follow in behind her in curtesy and kindness. Now the cigars. They are great cigars. These are my go to every day cigars. I like to experience new cigars every where I go and yes Ive had many other great cigars. But I always come back here for my fix. Wouldn’t change them for anything.
On the spot hand rolled cigars. Pretty cool seeing that skill. I will try that foot long (looks like) cigar. The owner has a favorite, which aint bad. Park & walk.
Visit Faraona all the way from San Antonio Texas. Referred by big name athletes and friends in San Antonio. Hands down the best cigar shop in Tampa. Cigars are top quality and I enjoy most her signature Faraona rolled cigar. I can’t say enough about La Faraona. Your missing out if your a first time or veteran cigar officionado and haven’t tried La Faraona. The Best! Nothing but Love!
I live in Las Vegas and this is my first order from them. I ordered online. It was sent out next day after order and I have no doubt the cigars I ordered will be amazing great service thank you!
I came in on a Sunday so Odelma wasnt there rolling but the cigars are luscious and full of flavor without being bitter. Really impressed with the quality and flavor and I have to say that they are in my top ten favorite cigars. I will order more online when Im almost out.
Great hand rolled cigar by the talented Odelma Matas. Love the location in historic Ybor City. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great experience. If you love cigars, do yourself a favor and stop in. You wont be disappointed.
Great smokes but I was a bit confused by the service. It was the end of the day and I bought 8 cigars that totaled about $60. After taking my money the girl at the register told me that if I had bought 10 cigars I could have gotten a discount and only spent $55. She then gave me one more coast for free but wouldnt let me redo the purchase to take advantage of thedeal. I love these cigars but an still a bit agitated by the strange customer service. I would likely have bought even more cigars of she had given me the discount to begin with...
AMAZING SHOP!!!!!! Staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable of there products. As a new cigar smoker I felt very comfortable with the recommendations of the staff.
Faraona has some of the finest and best cigars I’ve ever smoked the hospitality is unbelievable there and they also have some awesome coffee
Odelma is amazing! The cigars are smooth and the coffee strong 🙌
Everyone who walks through the door is treated like family!!!! Ive been smoking cigars for over 20 yrs and these are some of the best tasting hand rolled cigars Ive ever had.If you have not yet had one, stop playing and treat yourself. Remember the first time you fell in love? These cigars are that damn good!!!!
Great people, great cigars, great place!! Love how welcoming and friendly the staff is. highly recommended.
An exceptional experience whatever your taste are! Very personable!

Great little cigar shop, where you can get fresh hand-rolled cigars from the beautiful women working up front.The owner is the stunningly beautiful Odelma. She treated me like family during my visit & I cant wait to go back again.Great normal cigars & she (Odelma) rolls magnificent custom cigars and well. Check out the shops website!
First and foremost, the cigars are spectacular!!! I have NEVER had a badly rolled cigar, and they are flavorful, and good to the nub (Dont burn your fingers - theyre that good!). Secondly, Odelma and staff are extremely hospitable, and the place is immaculately clean.I live in the NYC area, and the place was highly recommended by a family member who lives in Tampa. I have been to many spots in Ybor but this is the only company that I order cigars from. A MUST if you love premium fresh rolled cigars, and a MUST if you want to feel good when you buy them.
Ive been smoking Odelmas hand-rolled cigars for a few years now. Some of the best cigars in Ybor, and you are always treated like family. You wont find a better cigar experience.
Wonderful cigars, not a wide variety of common brands, but that didnt matter.
The best cigars in Ybor City hands down. Always an inviting setting and the beautiful La Faraona greats you as you enter. The Faraona cigar is her favorite as well as mine. MUST TRY!
Great store!!! They are very welcoming and friendly... we had a great experience we all took pics and shared stories.... she has Chad Johnson picture too ... very awesome store!!!!

I went there last weekend and tried their cigars.. very flavorful and lots of variety stuff is friendly and very knowledgeable
This is by far my favorite cigar shop in Ybor City. Ive tried several other shops and they are good but every cigar Ive had from La Faraona have been great and have exceeded my expectations. Construction and flavor of each cigar is as good or better than any other Cuban made cigar Ive had. The owner, Odelma, and her staff are always friendly and are eager to make sure youre pleased with your cigar smoking experience.
Odelma is the best hands down. I have been coming here for over 7 years. If you want hospitality, great cigars, Cuban coffee and see the cigars rolled in front of you, then this is the place to be. Odelma, is the owner and hand rolls every cigar you buy in the store. True and authentic. The cigars are great. My favorite is the Maduros. Check them out. Family owned and operated. Xoxoxo
I always have a great time here the people who run the shop are also very nice the prices are good the Cigars are handmade in the shop it a family business and you get treated very nicely good spot to enjoy ybor city
Great service and awesome cigars. Fun atmosphere, very attentive.
Love this place all time favorite.
La Faraona was recommended by several friends and I finally got a chance to get down to Ybor City and I have to say if your looking for a great puro as close to a Cuban Cigars as your gonna get, Odelma Matos is a true Master.
Really authentic cigar shop. The owner and workers make you feel like family, they are extremely nice. And the cigars are hands down the best you will get anywhere. They also offer cuban coffee. Dont waste your time going any where else.
