Ybor City, Florida - If you’re looking for a unique new career, you may find it in Ybor City. That’s because cigars are making a comeback and merchants need cigar rollers. According to the Chamber of Commerce, three cigar shops have opened in Ybor City, in the last year. They say hand rolled cigars have become a big attraction for tourists. Jacqueline Conley says, there’s a need for more cigar rollers in Ybor. She’s organizing classes at International Bazaar.


Jacqueline Conley, International Bazaar:
“Our cigar school is not just to create cigar rollers, but create cigar rollers that know the rich history of Ybor City.”


That way they can keep tourists informed, while also rolling cigars.


Jacqueline Conley, International Bazaar:

“It’s a local trade that did help the economy locally, we believe if the trade comes back it will give people jobs, it will bring people back to Ybor City.”


Historians say, it’s important to carry on tradition. For Cigar rolling classes at International Bazaar Call 813-241-8292 for more information.
